Distillation

Distillation

Distillation is a process that is used to separate the components of a liquid mixture through the use of different boiling points. It is a common method used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries to separate and purify different compounds. The process works by heating a liquid mixture to a temperature where one or more of the components will vaporize, and then collecting and condensing the vapor back into a liquid form.
