Definition:

Distillation (noun): The process of purifying a liquid by heating it to create vapor, then cooling the vapor to collect the condensed liquid. This separation technique is used to remove impurities, concentrate substances, or extract desired components from a mixture.

Distillation relies on differences in boiling points, allowing substances with lower boiling points to vaporize first and be collected as a purer or more concentrated product. Commonly used in industries such as chemistry, petroleum refining, and alcohol production, distillation is a key method for obtaining high-purity substances or isolating specific compounds.

The term "distillation" can also refer to the act of clarifying or refining ideas or information to their essence through careful analysis or extraction of key points.
