text: In order to cut the time required for diffusion of the molecules of a volatile component from a deep liquid layer to the evaporation surface, distillation is, in modern molecular stills, carried out with very thin liquid films; this also makes it possible to cut the time that the substance remains on the vapor-releasing surface and reduces the danger of thermal decomposition.
