Distillation is used to separate liquids from nonvolatile solids, as in the separation of alcoholic liquors from fermented materials, or in the separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points, as in the separation of gasoline, kerosene, and lubricating oil from crude oil.
Why is distillation important to our daily lives?
Distillation is used to produce a variety of alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey, rum and brandy. When fruit and plant materials ferment, a dilute version of ethyl alcohol is produced. Distilling the fermented material purifies and concentrates the ethanol.
Why is distillation preferred?
Distillation is the most commonly used method for the separation of homogeneous fluid mixtures. Separation exploits differences in boiling point, or volatility, between the components in the mixture.
