purified
Freed from contaminants
Purified means made pure by removing contaminants, impurities, or unwanted elements.
Water is purified for drinking; metals are purified for industrial use.
The word extends to abstract cleansing: a soul purified through confession, motives purified of self-interest.
The purified extract contained no traces of the original solvent.
