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