Introduction to Fractional Distillation Fractional distillation is an advanced separation technique that refines the principles of simple distillation. It is employed to separate components in a liquid mixture based on their boiling points by utilizing a fractionating column, which enhances the separation efficiency. This process is crucial in the production …
Distillation: Basic Principles and Methodology of Simple Distillation
1. Introduction to Distillation Distillation is a separation process that exploits differences in the volatility of components in a liquid mixture. It is commonly used for purifying liquids, separating components based on their boiling points. The basic principle involves heating the liquid mixture to create vapor and then cooling the …
