How Distillation Works: Engineering Explanation

What is the Distillation Process? Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid mixture by exploiting differences in their volatility. When a liquid mixture is heated, part of it vaporizes. The vapor phase is richer in the more volatile components, while the remaining liquid becomes enriched in the less volatile ones. This… Read More »How Distillation Works: Engineering Explanation
