U+1F760 Alchemical Symbol for Distill
U+1F760 was added in Unicode version 6.0 in 2010. It belongs to the block
This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as sublimate.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+1F760 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Distillation, also classical distillation, is the process of separating the component substances of a liquid mixture of two or more chemically discrete substances; the separation process is realized by way of the selective boiling of the mixture and the condensation of the vapors in a still.
Dry distillation (thermolysis and pyrolysis) is the heating of solid materials to produce gases that condense either into fluid products or into solid products. The term dry distillation includes the separation processes of destructive distillation and of chemical cracking, breaking down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller hydrocarbon molecules. Moreover, a partial distillation results in partial separations of the mixture's components, which process yields nearly-pure components; partial distillation also realizes partial separations of the mixture to increase the concentrations of selected components. In either method, the separation process of distillation exploits the differences in the relative volatility of the component substances of the heated mixture.
In the industrial applications of classical distillation, the term distillation is used as a unit of operation that identifies and denotes a process of physical separation, not a chemical reaction; thus an industrial installation that produces distilled beverages, is a distillery of alcohol. These are some applications of the chemical separation process that is distillation:
- Distilling fermented products to yield alcoholic beverages with a high content by volume of ethyl alcohol.
- Desalination to produce potable water and for medico-industrial applications.
- Crude oil stabilisation, a partial distillation to reduce the vapor pressure of crude oil, which thus is safe to store and to transport, and thereby reduces the volume of atmospheric emissions of volatile hydrocarbons.
- Fractional distillation used in the midstream operations of an oil refinery for producing fuels and chemical raw materials for livestock feed.
- Cryogenic Air separation into the component gases β oxygen, nitrogen, and argon β for use as industrial gases.
- Chemical synthesis to separate impurities and unreacted materials.
