Concentrate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Concentrate

A concentrate is a form of substance which has had the majority of its base component (in the case of a liquid: the solvent) removed. Typically this will be the removal of water from a solution or suspension such as the removal of water from fruit juice. One benefit of producing a concentrate is that of a reduction in weight and volume for transportation as the concentrate can be re-constituted at the time of usage by the addition of the solvent.

[edit] Development

Concentrated means "centered."

[edit] Other

Concentrate can also be the residue valuable metal from which most of the waste rock has been removed. The residue metal becomes the raw material for smelting.

Concentrate, as a verb , also means to mildly focus on something. Example: Bob concentrated on the test. He must not fail it if he wants to make it to the next grade.
