WHAT DOES DESTRUCTIVE DISTILLATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Destructive distillation

Destructive distillation is the chemical process involving the decomposition of feedstock by heating to a high temperature; the term generally applies to processing of organic material in the absence of air or in the presence of limited amounts of oxygen or other reagents, catalysts, or solvents, such as steam or phenols. It is an application of pyrolysis. The process breaks up or 'cracks' large molecules. Coke, coal gas, gas carbon, coal tar, Buckministerfullerene, ammonia liquor, and "coal oil" historically, are examples of commercial products of the destructive distillation of coal. Destructive distillation of any particular inorganic feedstock produces only a small range of products as a rule, but destructive distillation of organic materials commonly produces very many compounds, often hundreds, though not all chemical products of any particular process are of commercial importance. The molecules distilled off generally are smaller and more volatile than the feedstock molecules, but some reactions polymerise or condense small molecules into larger molecules, including heat-stable tarry substances and chars.

Definition of destructive distillation in the English dictionary

The definition of destructive distillation in the dictionary is the decomposition of a complex substance, such as wood or coal, by heating it in the absence of air and collecting the volatile products.
