CARBONIZATION-Is the process of heating organic substances without the access of air, until they are charred. The volatile products are driven off, but combustion is prevented.

CALCINATION-Is the process of driving off volatile substances, such as gas or water, from inorganic matter, by heat without fusion.

COLATION-Straining.

COMMINUTION-Reducing drugs to fine particles. DEFLAGRATION-Is the process of heating one inorganic substance with another capable of yielding oxygen (usually a nitrate or a chlorate); decomposition ensues, accompanied by a violent, noisy, or sudden combustion.

DESICCATION--Is depriving solid substances of moisture at a low temperature.

DELIQUESCENCE-Is the absorption of moisture from the air by a salt.

DISTILLATION-Vaporizing and condensing a

liquid.

DESTRUCTIVE DISTILLATION-Is that in which the substance is consumed and the products of combustion are condensed and collected.

DIGESTION-Is maceration with the addition of gentle heat.

DECANTATION—The process of separating a fluid from a solid by allowing the solid to deposit at the bottom of the vessel and pouring off the liquid.
