DEFINITION
Classification: 210/664
By distilling or degassing:
(under subclass 663) Process in which a constituent is removed from the liquid by converting part of the liquid to a gaseous or vapor phase in which the gas or vapor is not sorbed nor chemically changed to a nongaseous element or compound.
(1) Note. Included are processes in which an initially dissolved gas in evolved or liquid is vaporized, leaving behind a nonvapor constituent and the vapor is then condensed.
(2) Note. The distillation or degassing treatment must be applied to the liquid undergoing treatment, not to an additional liquid (e.g., a regenerant) which may come in contact with the ion exchanger or sorbent.
