Distillation
the process of purifying a liquid by boiling it and condensing its vapors.
Repeating the process is called double distillation which improves the purity of the liquid. Distillation is used for the production of gasoline, Alcohol, and Kerosene. there are different types of distillation such as:
1. Simple distillation: Simple distillation is practiced for a mixture in which the boiling point of the components differ by at least 70° C.
2. Fractional Distillation:Those mixtures, in which the volatility of the components is nearly similar or differs by 25° C (at 1 atmosphere pressure), cannot be separated by simple distillation.
3. Steam Distillation:Steam distillation is used for the purification of mixtures, in which the components are temperature or heat sensitive; for example, organic compounds.
4. Vacuum Distillation:Vacuum distillation is a special method of separating compounds at pressure lower than the standard atmospheric pressure.
5. Short Path Distillation: In this technique, the separated compounds are condensed immediately without traveling the condenser.
