WHAT DOES FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fractional distillation

Fractional distillation

Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts, or fractions, such as in separating chemical compounds by their boiling point by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the compound will vaporize. It is a special type of distillation. Generally the component parts boil at less than 25 °C from each other under a pressure of one atmosphere. If the difference in boiling points is greater than 25 °C, a simple distillation is used.

Definition of fractional distillation in the English dictionary

The definition of fractional distillation in the dictionary is the process of separating the constituents of a liquid mixture by heating it and condensing separately the components according to their different boiling points. Other definition of fractional distillation is a distillation in which the vapour is brought into contact with a countercurrent of condensed liquid to increase the purity of the final products.
