    Distillation is a process that separates liquids in a mixture by selective boiling and condensation. Lower boiling components are boiled and collected as a vapor, then condensed, while higher boiling components remain in the original flask. Distillation is commonly used to produce gasoline, alcohol, and other liquids from crude oil fractions. It is also used to liquefy and separate gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and argon from air. While an efficient method for small-scale water softening, distillation requires significant energy for large-scale use and produces water that is oxygen-free, tasteless, and highly acidic.

    DISTILLATION
    Mr. M. Sreenivas
    Definition:
    Distillation is the process of separating the components or
    substances from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and
    condensation.
     Most of the lower boiling liquid is
    collected in a receiver vial while
    most of the higher boiling liquid remains
    in the original flask.
     Examples
    Distillation is used for many commercial processes, such as the production of
    gasoline, distilled water, xylene, alcohol, paraffin, kerosene, and many other
    liquids. Gas may be liquefied and separate. For example: nitrogen, oxygen, and
    argon are distilled from air.
    Advantages:
    • It is an efficient method of water softening for smaller
    purposes.
    • It is relatively cheap.
    • It can also be reused.
    Disadvantages:
    • As a process of water softening, distillation requires a keen eye, so that unwanted
    elements do not mix with water.
    • When distillation is done on a larger scale, a very high amount of energy needed.
    • The distilled water does not contain any oxygen and is also very tasteless.
    • It has very high levels of acidity.
