Function class
DistillationFunction ⊑ DesignedFunction
Realized in
DistillationProcess ⊑ PlannedProcess
Distillation is the identity-giving function - a specific type of separation process based on differences in boiling points. This is what distinguishes a distillation column from other types of process columns or separators.
2 Genus DeterminationDeterminação do Gênero
Separatorbfo:Object (BFO_0000030)
Based on parent candidates and the ISO 15926 definition stating it is a DISTILLATION SEPARATOR, the most specific appropriate genus is Separator (already enriched). While it's also described as a PROCESS COLUMN, the separating function is more fundamental - it's a separator that happens to use a column configuration for distillation, rather than a generic process column.
3 Differentia SpecificaDiferença Específica
∃bearerOf.DistillationFunction

Bears a distillation function that enables separation based on differences in boiling points or vapor pressures.

DistillationFunction is a specialized subtype of SeparationFunction that specifically involves vapor-liquid equilibrium and boiling point differences. This is the minimal differentia that distinguishes distillation columns from other separators.
4 Necessary PartsPartes Necessárias

No necessary parts recorded.

These parts define the minimum physical configuration required for any distillation operation: containment, staged contact for mass transfer, feed introduction, and separate product withdrawal points.

TransformationTransformação
thermal separation via vapor-liquid equilibrium
Distillation takes a mixed feed and produces multiple product streams with different compositions based on component volatilities. The number of outputs can vary (2 for simple distillation, 3+ for complex columns).

Filter Centrifuge
C1: Centrifuge. C2: Filter. Distillation columns use thermal/vapor-liquid equilibrium separation mechanisms that are incompatible with physical filtration or centrifugal force separation
