Question

Compare and contrast all 4 types of distillation

Answer 1

TYPES OF DISTILLATION :

         1 . SIMPLE DISTILLATION :    In this process , Boil the Raw water and get vapors. These vapors channeled into condensor then we get condensed water through condensed outlet. it fallows RAOULT'S LAW .

                                                           This process is used for the separating liquids from non-volatile solids. which are having " high boiling points " than liquids.

       2. FRACTION DISTILLATION :   This process is used for the distillation of components which are having CLOSED BOILING POINTS . in this process components separated by repeated vaporization - condensation cycles within a packed Fractionating Coloumn .

     3 . STEAM DISTILLATION :   This process is used for the distilating compounds which are HEAT-SENSITIVE .

               In this process ,Bubbling steam passes through a heated mixture of raw material . vapor mixture is condensed and get layer of oil & layer of water .

    4 . VACUUM DISTILLATION : This process is used for the distillation of compounds which are having HIGH BOILING POINTS . In this process , we are using a technic i.e lower the pressure which is used for the boiling of compounds , instead of increasing the Temperature .
