What Is the Definition of Simple Distillation?
Distillation is one way to separate the substances in a solution. Perhaps one of the most romantic examples of simple distillation is the manufacture of “corn whiskey” in Depression era back-country stills. The process of heating and condensing to purify substances, known as “simple distillation” is used to produce paint thinners, desalinized water and fine wines as well as the “white lightning” of the 1930s.
