1. A still comprising:
inert components;
at least one reactive article disposed within the still, and
at least one spacer situated between the at least one reactive article and the inert components,
a pot, a neck and a frustoconical cover connecting between the pot and the neck, and
a lyne arm and the at least one reactive article comprising a plurality of arcuate plates which is separated from the neck and/or lyne arm by the least one spacer, and
a condenser and the at least one reactive article comprising a plurality of substantially parallel horizontal plates which is disposed at a bottom area of the condenser and separated from the condenser by the at least one spacer such that a condensed distillate flows over the plates, and
whereby the still is operable to allow collecting a desired fraction from distillation of a first substrate at a rate of less than 5 L/(hr*m2) of first-substrate per exposed area of the at least one reactive article.
