    The most volatile chemical condense at the top of the column while the least volatile chemicals to vaporize condense in the lowest portion. [1] The difference in volatility between water and ethanol has long been used to produce concentrated alcoholic beverages (many of these are referred to as "liquors"). In order to increase the concentration ...

  4. volatile (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_(computer...

    In C and C++, volatile is a type qualifier, like const, and is a part of a type (e.g. the type of a variable or field). The behavior of the volatile keyword in C and C++ is sometimes given in terms of suppressing optimizations of an optimizing compiler: 1- don't remove existing volatile reads and writes, 2- don't add new volatile reads and writes, and 3- don't reorder volatile reads and writes.

    The CARB revised the definition of "Volatile Organic Compounds" used in their consumer products regulations, based on the committee's findings. [ 18 ] In addition to drinking water , VOCs are regulated in pollutant discharges to surface waters (both directly and via sewage treatment plants) [ 19 ] as hazardous waste, [ 20 ] but not in non ...

    Volatile acid concentration can be used to detect adulteration of butter with less expensive fats. Butterfat has uncommonly high levels of volatile butyric and caproic acids, and mixing with fats from other sources dilutes the volatile acids. A measurement of the volatile acids is known as the Reichert Meissel value. [19] [20] [21]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_(astrogeology)

    An empirical law has been used for different magma-volatiles combination. For instance, for water in magma the equation is n=0.1078 P where n is the amount of dissolved gas as weight percentage (wt%), P is the pressure in megapascal (MPa) that acts on the magma. The value changes, for example for water in rhyolite n = 0.4111 P and for the ...

    This quantity is widely used in designing large industrial distillation processes. [1] [2] [3] In effect, it indicates the ease or difficulty of using distillation to separate the more volatile components from the less volatile components in a mixture.
