    • This system can effectively de-ionate the solvent, making it suitable for high-precision manufacturing.
Advanced Usage
  • Technical/Process Context: Often used to describe a step in preparing ultra-pure water.
    • The final stage in producing semiconductor-grade water is to completely de-ionate it.
Variants and Related Words
  • Deionization (n): The process or result of removing ions.
