Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in volatility of components in a boiling liquid mixture.
Fractionation is a separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture (solid, liquid, solute, suspension or i) is divided up in a number of smaller quantities (fractions) in which the isotope composition varies according to a gradient.

What is the difference between simple distillation and fractional distillation?
Simple distillation refers to the "simple" separation of a solid and a liquid by evaporating the liquid and collecting it after it passes through a condenser to be changed into a liquid state. Fractional distillation refers to the more complex way of separation, usually involving a liquid/liquid mixture (eg. ethanol and water). these can be separated since they both have different boiling points. When this mixture is heated the ethanol having the lowest boiling point boils off first, followed by the water. However the fractional coulomb condenses both gases back into liquid, and fall back in the flask, with time the ethanol gains enough energy to over come the fractional coulomb (this happen before the water does this since ethanol has a LOWER boiling point) and pass through the condenser, changes into a liquid and is collected.

What is fractionation column used for?
The fractionation column is used to separate components of a liquid by distillation.
How the process fractionation takes place?
Distillation
What is the process that separates a mixture based on the boiling points?
That's "fractional distillation" or in the world of oil, "fracking."
difference between simple and fractional distillation?
The key difference between fractional and simple distillation is that fractional distillation is used when the components in the mixture have closer boiling points, while simple distillation is used when the components in the mixture have a large difference in their boiling points
In what situation would you use fractional distillation over simple distillation?
You would use simple distillation when the two products you are trying to separate have large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is needed when the two products have very close boiling points (like Hexane and toluene). In petroleum refining, the word "fractionation", not "fractional distillation" is used, often interchangeably with "distillation". When we have a crude mixture of different compounds which have very minor difference in their boiling points and cannot be separated simple distillation, then fractional distillation is used. Differenciation of components of petroleum is done by this process
What is the process that separates components from mixtures?
In the petrochemical industry, this is called fractionation. Another common use is distillation.
When you use distillation?
when there is less density difference between two liquids of mixture & proper difference in boiling point distillation can be used.
What is the differentiate distillation from evaporation?
The difference between evaporation and distillation is evaporation is a function of nature and distillation is a process whether it be to separate a liquid or purify it
What method of separating mixtures be used to separate oil from oil-water mixture?
Most of the components of petroleum are separated by Fractional distillation.
What is it called when you separate liquids by boiling and condensing them at different temperatures?
Fractionation. One other specialized application is called distillation. I'd put it differently. Distillation refers to any boil and condense process. Alcoholic spirits are distilled and in many cases the idea is not to separate the components too much. Simple distillation does separate liquids at different temperatures though you would not normally refer to it as fractionation. To do fractionation effectively the cycle must be repeated many times, which can be done automatically with a fractionating column. The components that emerge in succession are called fractions.
What is the name of the processes used to obtain fractions from crude oil?
there is only one process. that is fractionation. it can also be said fractional distillation.
What is the difference between distillation and fermentation?
what is the difference between fermentation and distillation? Distillation- the separation of alcohol from a fermented liquid by heating to vaportize the alcohol, then condensing the vapors. Fermentation- The action of yeast upon sugar in a solution, which breaks down the sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol
