La distillation [...] est l'opération par laquelle sont séparés un ou plusieurs constituants d'un mélange initialement liquide, en mettant à profit leurs températures d'ébullition différentes. Le liquide chauffé jusqu'à l'ébullition, est amené partiellement à l'état de vapeur; celle-ci est immédiatement condensée sur une paroi froide; elle donne alors un liquide appelé «distillat» qui doit avoir une composition différente du mélange initial pour que l'opération soit intéressante. 3, record 1, French, - distillat
