Distillation is defined as a natural process that separates a chemical mixture into its respective component based upon the different boiling point of the components present in the mixture.
2. Introduction to the process of
Distillation
Distillation is defined as a natural process that
separates a chemical mixture into its respective
component based upon the different boiling point
of the components present in the mixture.
It gained a large industrial application in
separating chemical components.
3. Industrial Application of Distillation
Column
Turpentine, naptha, phenols, toluene and
phytosterols are obtained using Distillation
column
Argon can be obtained in distillation plant via
employing air separation technology
Pyridine can also be obtained using distillation
column, Pyridine is an essential component used
in industries as a solvent and water proofing
agent.
4. Oil Refining
Distillation column are widely used in industries in
refining oils from the crude oil
When crude oil is extracted it contains many
hydrocarbons mixed in the extracted chemical
mixtures.
Hydrocarbons boils at the different temperatures
and can be separated from each other using
distillation column
Each separated hydrocarbon offer various
application in chemical industries.
5. Desalinizing Water
Distillation Plants is abon to the areas where
water is not available in sufficient quantity or is
impure
Distillation column provide an effective means
to supply pure water to those regions
Distillation plants can convert ocean water into
drinking water and supply it to areas having
scarcity of water.
6. Distilled Spirits
Liquor, beer and wine are produced after
undergoing through several stages of distillation
which eliminates the additive and produce a final
distilled form of the spirits.
Other Applications
Industries dealing in production of various
cosmetic product, pharma products, and
chemicals.
It is also used in several manufacturing industries
