What Is Going on in Pyrolytic Distillation?

In a way, they actually did understand what was going on. They just didn't have the same knowledge about it that we do to day. Because of advanced technology and a knowledge of chemistry and physics, they described it in a different way. There is four conditions, or substances, or elements, in the boiling flask before pyrolysis. And when you distil them, they do come over the still head as four other kinds of substance - clear liquid, gas, oil and mineral.
