distillable
Able to purify
Distillable describes a substance that can be purified or separated through distillation, the process of heating a liquid until it vaporizes and then condensing the vapor back into liquid form.
Water, alcohol, and petroleum are all distillable.
The term appears most often in technical and industrial contexts: The distillable fraction of crude oil determines refinery output.
