Rectification (chemistry)

Rectification (chemistry)

Rectification (chemistry and neuroscience) is a phenomenon of permeation of ion channels that occurs when the inside and outside concentration of the permeant ion are different. In industrial chemistry, rectification columns are used for separation processes.
