    Fractional distillation is a separation process that uses heating to separate mixtures into their individual components based on differences in their boiling points. It works by heating a mixture to selectively evaporate compounds with lower boiling points which are then cooled and condensed, allowing for separation. The process uses a fractional distillation apparatus in a lab, which employs a Liebig condenser and receiving flask, or large industrial distillation towers to separate components that boil within 25°C of each other.

    “Fractional Distillation”

    By: Mohin Sapara.


    Definition and overview:
     “Fractional distillation is the separation of
    a mixture into its component parts, or
    fractions, such as in separating
    chemical compounds by their boiling point
    by heating them to a temperature at which
    several fractions of the compound will
    evaporate.”
     It is a special type of distillation in which the
    component parts boil at less than 25 °C
    from each other under a pressure of one
    atmosphere (atm).
    Laboratory setup:
     Fractional
    distillation
    apparatus using a
    Liebig condenser.
    A conical flask is
    used as a
    receiving flask.
    Here the
    distillation head
    and fractionating
    column are
    combined in one
    piece.[1]
