Scope of Distillation
It is no secret that the subject matter of distillation is solely
located in the domain of the chemical engineer.
In many ways, it is a topic
which separates chemical
engineering from other
engineering and applied
science disciplines.
• Distillation may be defined as the separation of the
components of a liquid feed mixture by a process involving
partial vaporization through the application of heat.
• In general, the vapor evolved is recovered in liquid form by
condensation.
• The more volatile (lighter) components of the liquid mixture
are obtained in the vapor discharge at a higher concentration.
• The extent of the separation is governed by two important
factors: the properties of the components involved and by the
physical arrangement of the unit used for distillation.
Distillation Intro…..
Types/Processes of Distillation
1. Flash Distillation
2. Batch Distillation
3. Continuous Distillation with Reflux
i. Equipment and Operation
ii. Equilibrium Considerations
iii. Binary Distillation Design
iv. Multicomponent Distillation
Flash Distillation
• The separation of a volatile component from a
liquid process can be achieved by means of flash
distillation.
• This operation is referred to as a “flash” since the
more volatile component of a saturated liquid
mixture rapidly vaporizes upon entering a
tank or drum which is at a lower pressure and/or
higher temperature than the incoming
feed.

Batch Distillation
• Although batch distillations are generally more costly
than their continuous counterparts, there are certain
applications in which batch distillation is the method
of choice.
• Batch distillation is typically chosen when it is not
possible to run a continuous process due to limiting
process constraints, the need to distill other process
streams, or because the low frequency use of
distillation does not warrant a unit devoted solely to
a specific product.

CONTINUOUS DISTILLATION WITH REFLUX
• In a continuous distillation column, Vapor flows up
the column and liquid flows countercurrently down
the column. For the subsequent discussion regarding
continuous distillation, a binary (2-component) feed
will be assumed.
• In the case of a binary feed, the more volatile (lower
boiling) component will be referred to as the light
component, whereas the less volatile (higher boiling)
component is referred to as the heavy component.

CONTINUOUS DISTILLATION WITH REFLUX
• As is standard practice in binary distillation, all mole fractions
(i.e., xD, xB, xF) will be representative of the light component
only.
• Reflux ratio: The molar flow ratio of reflux returned to
distillate product collected is defined in this text as the reflux
ratio, R.
• Stripping Section: The portion of the column below the feed
tray (and including the feed tray itself) is known as the
stripping section.
• Rectification section :Upon reaching the top of the stripping
section, the rising vapor enters the portion of the column
above the feed tray, referred to as the rectification section.
