    Distillation, the process involving the conversion of a liquid into vapor that is subsequently condensed back to liquid form. It is used to separate liquids from nonvolatile solids or in the separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points. Learn more about distillation here.

  3. Distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillation

    Distillation, also classical distillation, is the process of separating the component substances of a liquid mixture of two or more chemically discrete substances; the separation process is realized by way of the selective boiling of the mixture and the condensation of the vapors in a still.

    Distillation is the process of separating components of a mixture based on different boiling points. Examples of uses of distillation include purification of alcohol, desalination, crude oil refining, and making liquefied gases from air.

  5. Distillation refers to the selective boiling and subsequent condensation of a component in a liquid mixture. It is a separation technique that can be used to either increase the concentration of a particular component in the mixture or to obtain (almost) pure components from the mixture.

    Schematic of a distillation apparatus. The mixture is heated and begins to boil. Cold water run through the condenser tube, causing the gaseous mixture to return to the liquid phase. A more pure volatile component is collected in a flask at the other end of the condenser tube.

    We aim to distill benzene and toluene to a distillate that contains 95 mol% benzene and a bottoms stream that contains 95% toluene. The feed stream is 100 kmol/hr of an equimolar mixture with q = 0.50. We will be operating at 1.0 atm, of 1.8 with a packed column containing 25-mm metal Bialecki rings.
