- Batch distillation [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Boiling point [r]: The temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external environmental pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid initiates boiling. [e]
- Continuous distillation [r]: An ongoing separation process in which a liquid mixture of two or more miscible components is continuously fed into the process and physically separated into two or more products by preferentially boiling the more volatile (i.e., lower boiling point) components out of the mixture.

- Fenske equation [r]: An equation for calculating the minimum number of theoretical plates needed to separate a binary feed stream by a fractionation column operated at total reflux (i.e., meaning that no overhead product is being withdrawn from the column). [e]

- McCabe-Thiele method [r]: A graphical method considered to be the simplest, most instructive method for the analysis of binary distillation. [e]
- Relative volatility [r]: A measure that compares the vapor pressures of components in a liquid mixture that is widely used in designing distillation and similar separation processes. [e]
- Reboiler [r]: Typically a heat exchanger or a fired heater used to provide heat to the bottom of an industrial distillation column (also referred to as a distillation tower). [e]
- Theoretical plate [r]: A hypothetical zone or stage in a chemical engineering separation process in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor phases of a substance, establish an equilibrium with each other. [e]
