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 vapor to collect the separated […]
