In the industrial applications of classical distillation, the term distillation is used as a unit of operation that identifies and denotes a process of physical separation, not a chemical reaction; thus an industrial installation that produces distilled beverages, is a distillery of alcohol. These are some applications of the chemical ...
Wetting solutions can be applied in pharmaceuticals, [7] cosmetics [8] and agriculture. [9] Albeit a number of practical uses of wetting solutions, the presence of wetting solution can be a hindrance to water purification in industrial membrane distillation. [10]
Industrial separation processes are technical procedures which are used in industry to separate a product from impurities or other products. The original mixture may either be a natural resource (like ore , oil or sugar cane) or the product of a chemical reaction (like a drug or an organic solvent ).

Continuous distillation, a form of distillation, is an ongoing separation in which a mixture is continuously (without interruption) fed into the process and separated fractions are removed continuously as output streams.
Steam distillation is a separation process that consists of distilling water together with other volatile and non-volatile components. The steam from the boiling water carries the vapor of the volatiles to a condenser ; both are cooled and return to the liquid or solid state, while the non-volatile residues remain behind in the boiling container.
1913 – The Haber process, also called the Haber–Bosch process, made it possible to produce ammonia, and thereby fertilize, on an industrial scale. 1960 – First use with aerial photos in Earth sciences and agriculture. 1988 - First use of the Global Positioning System in agricultural applications, precision farming emerges.

Agrochemicals: Chemicals used in agriculture, including fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, to enhance crop yield and protect plants from pests and diseases. Catalysts: Substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process, widely used in the production of petrochemicals, polymers, and ...
Stripping is commonly used in industrial applications to remove harmful contaminants from waste streams. One example would be the removal of TBT and PAH contaminants from harbor soils. [4] The soils are dredged from the bottom of contaminated harbors, mixed with water to make a slurry and then stripped with steam.
