Distillate. The material generally liquid, that is vapourised and condensed in the process of distillation.

Donnan memberane equilibrium. This concerns the distribution of ions on each side of a membrane separating two portion of a solution of an electrolyte, e.g. NaCl in water; on one side of the membrane a polyelectrolyte, e.g. a protein, is introduced, the molecules and ions of which cannot pass through the membrane. The distribution of the NaCl on the two sides of the membrane will be unequal and a membrane potential will be established. The theory of such systems, which are of importance in biology, was fully worked out by Donnan.
