Distillation

Distillation is the process of selectively boiling a component in a liquid mixture and then condensing it thereafter. It is a method of separation that can be applied to either get more of one particular component out of a mixture or to separate it out almost completely.

Fractional Distillation

Fractional distillation is a type of distillation that involves the separation of miscible liquids. The process involves repeated distillations and condensations and the mixture is usually separated into component parts. The separation happens when the mixture is heated at a certain temperature where fractions of the mixture start to vaporize.

 

Vacuum Distillation

The boiling point depends on atmospheric pressure; if liquids are distilled in an atmosphere with lower pressure, they will boil at a temperature lower than their boiling points. The vacuum pump is used to do this. Reduced air pressure causes liquids to boil more quickly, which speeds up the entire distillation process.

 

Steam Distillation

Steam Distillation is a separation process for temperature-sensitive substances. It is an exclusive kind of distillation. Another option is to separate miscible liquid bases based on how volatile they are. an example would be aromatic compounds. It is essential in some industrialized areas. No chemical reaction occurs in this situation

 

Purification of Organic Compounds

Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules’ structure, characteristics, content, reactions, and production. The majority of organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also contain a variety of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur).

Organic chemistry was originally limited to the study of molecules created by living organisms, but it has now expanded to encompass man-made substances.
