The destructive distillation of coal yields coke, tar, ammonia, and gas. The destructive distillation of biomass yields char and gas. Water present is vaporized.  2, record 1, English, - destructive%20distillation

The terms cracking, pyrolysis, and thermal decomposition have the same general meaning and are roughly synonymous with destructive distillation. The latter however applies particularly to coal, while cracking refers most often to petroleum. Pyrolysis and thermal decomposition are general meaning.  3, record 1, English, - destructive%20distillation

In [the dry distillation] process the substance operated upon is invariably a solid, the vapours being condensed and collected as in the other methods. When the substance operated upon is of uncertain composition, as, for example, coal, wood, coal-tar, etc., the term "destructive distillation" is employed.  5, record 1, English, - destructive%20distillation

La distillation destructive consiste à décomposer un produit à température élevée, puis à séparer les produits formés par fractionnement en une seule opération. Industriellement, on effectue la distillation destructive de la houille pour obtenir du coke, du goudron, du gaz, de l'ammoniac, et celle du bois pour obtenir du charbon de bois, de l'acide éthanoïque, de la propanone et du méthanol.  3, record 1, French, - distillation%20destructive
