What's the difference between rectificator and volatile?
Rectificator
Definition:
(n.) That which rectifies or refines; esp., a part of a distilling apparatus in which the more volatile portions are separated from the less volatile by the process of evaporation and condensation; a rectifier.

Volatile
Definition:
(a.) Passing through the air on wings, or by the buoyant force of the atmosphere; flying; having the power to fly.
(a.) Capable of wasting away, or of easily passing into the aeriform state; subject to evaporation.
(a.) Fig.: Light-hearted; easily affected by circumstances; airy; lively; hence, changeable; fickle; as, a volatile temper.
(n.) A winged animal; wild fowl; game.
Example Sentences:
