  2. Relative volatility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_volatility

    Relative volatility is a measure comparing the vapor pressures of the components in a liquid mixture of chemicals. This quantity is widely used in designing large industrial distillation processes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In effect, it indicates the ease or difficulty of using distillation to separate the more volatile components from the less ...

  3. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_(chemistry)

    A crude oil distillation column. Knowledge of volatility is often useful in the separation of components from a mixture. When a mixture of condensed substances contains multiple substances with different levels of volatility, its temperature and pressure can be manipulated such that the more volatile components change to a vapor while the less ...

  4. Vapor–liquid equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid_equilibrium

    Large-scale industrial distillation is rarely undertaken if the relative volatility is less than 1.05 with the volatile component being i and the less volatile component being j. [2] K values are widely used in the design calculations of continuous distillation columns for distilling multicomponent mixtures.

  5. 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.

  6. Azeotropic distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotropic_distillation

    Greater deviations from Raoult's law make it easier to achieve significant changes in relative volatility with the addition of another component. In azeotropic distillation the volatility of the added component is the same as the mixture, and a new azeotrope is formed with one or more of the components based on differences in polarity. [2]

    We chatted with Dr. Amy Lee, Head of Nutrition for Nucific, and Allison Arnett, registered dietician and lecturer at the University of New Haven, to unpack exactly how alcohol affects us.

  8. The Overdue, Under-Told Story Of The Clitoris

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Heteroazeotrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroazeotrope

    Batch heteroazeotropic distillation is an efficient method for the separation of azeotropic and low relative volatility (low α) mixtures. A third component (entrainer, E) is added to the binary A-B mixture, which makes the separation of A and B possible.
