The device used in distillation is referred to as a still and consists at a minimum of a reboiler (pot) in which the source material is heated, a condenser in which the heated vapor is cooled back to the liquid state, and a receiver in which the concentrated or purified liquid is collected.
Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture of compounds by their boiling point, by heating to high enough temperatures.
Freeze distillation is a metaphorical term for a process of enriching a solution by partially freezing it and removing frozen material that is poorer in the dissolved material than is the liquid portion left behind.

 Applejack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is made by concentrating "hard cider" (as British cider, i.e., fermented apple juice, is called in American usage), either by the traditional method of freeze distillation (see fractional freezing), or by true evaporative distillation.
From the fermented juice, with an alcohol content of less than 10%, the concentrated result has about or 30 to 40 percent alcohol (i.e., 60 to 80 proof), is slightly sweet, and tastes and usually smells of apples.
Freeze distilling can concentrate methanol and fusel alcohols (by-products of fermentation which true distillation separates out) in applejack to unhealthy levels.

Another method, known as fractional crystalization, is done by inverting the process and freezing the beverage instead of boiling it.
Water freezes at a temperature of 0 C, while ethyl alcohol does not freeze until reaching -114 C. This allows the water to be frozen out of the liquid, leaving behind the ethyl alcohol, as well as the other alcohols and esters.
The trick with freezing is to partially thaw and refreeze a few times to promote larger pieces of ice--the frozen cylinder with a heart of alcohol is the consequence of diurnal cycling in a barrel over weeks.

 Cosmic Microwave Background: The Temperature of the Universe (2.728)
Let us consider the possibility that the 2.728 fractal number may represent that of the freezing point of water on a temperature scale similar to that of the Celsius scale, whereby the boiling point would then be represented by 372.8 degrees.
Furthermore, the fact that we devised a temperature scale based on the boiling point of water as representing a 136.6+ scale, with the freezing point of water as 100.0 on the scale, is nothing farfetched.
In such cases, the freezing point of water would be considered 100 units, and the boiling point, correspondingly, would be 136.6+ units, depending upon which value would be chosen for the scale.

Oxidiser Freezing Point: -219.00 deg C. Oxidiser Boiling Point: -183.00 deg C. Liquid oxygen was the earliest, cheapest, safest, and eventually the preferred oxidiser for large space launchers.

Jenn-Air’s new under-counter built-in ice maker employs an advanced freezing process that ensures ice is made with pure water, thus removing any unwanted tastes and odors from the ice.
During each ice-making cycle, water flows over a freezing plate that is set at precisely 32 degrees — the temperature at which clear or pure water freezes.
As mineral-laden water freezes at temperatures that are a few degrees colder than the freezing plate, the process ensures the ice maker makes ice only out of pure water molecules.

Cooling-heating cycles have been performed through the freezing and melting transition for samples with different fractional fillings.
Freezing leads to a decrease of the transmission up to four orders of magnitude due to material transport in the pore network that leads to a coarsening of the pore filling.
The results are compared with transmission data on isothermal filling and draining and with heat-capacity data on freezing and melting.

For less than 50% fraction of frozen precipitation, no additional snowfall is accumulated, and the precipitation is treated as all liquid for land surface model purposes, unless the skin temperature is freezing or below, in which case the liquid precipitation is assumed to freeze to the surface (freezing rain).
Note: Freezing rain adds to the water equivalent, but not to the snow depth, so the snow density increases when freezing rain occurs in the model forecast.
The forecast surface albedo of each physics grid box evolves as the snowpack evolves, based on the forecast fractional area of snow cover (based on snow depth which equals WESD/snow density) and the vegetation fraction in the grid box as shown in the fractional snow coverage graphic in the snow albedo section.
