returning condensate is rich in high boiling point allowing lower boiling point substance to distill over.

What is fractionation column used for?
The fractionation column is used to separate components of a liquid by distillation.
What is a fractionating column?
This is an installation used for separation by distillation.
What is the name of the column used to separate crude oil into its various components?
Fractionating column. The process is fractional distillation
How do you separate water and spirit?
i don't no thats why i search it
What height a fractional distillation column has?
The height of a column used in fractional distillation is dependent on the number of theoretical plates needed to sufficiently separate a mixture divided by the height equivalent to theoretical plate HETP. Nt=H/HETP
What is a batch distilation column?
This is a distillation column that doesn't have a continuous feed. The material that is to be distilled will typically be in a round bottom still at the end of the column.
What is an enriching section in a distillation column?
It is the top section of the distillation column. The section where the vapour leaves the column to the condenser.
What is the best fractionating column for ethanol distillation using lab glass?
distillation column
What is the purpose of Reflux in an oil refinery?
The reflux is the return of top product condensate from a distillation column back to the top of the column where it is able to flow down the column aiding with cooling and thus condensation in the column. It increases efficiency and enables a lower amount of theoretical plates to be used in the column.
Why maintain distillation column and distillation drum pressure?

What does rectifying section do in distillation column?
The rectifying section in a distillation column is where the lighter distillate is being enriched and the heavier components removed. This is in contrast to the stripping section where the lighter components are being "stripped" out of the bottom product and the heavier components consequently concentrated.
Why you people introduce feed in distillation column from bottom?
It depends on what you are trying to distill. If your heavy constituents don't require as many steps to separate (sometimes a simple reboiler will do it) as your lighter constituents, you will feed closer to the bottom of the column.
What is the effect of column temperature on resolution?
Different substances have different boiling points. Distillation is the chemical process created to take advantage of this property. Cooling one side, the top of the column and applying a heat source to the bottom ensures lighter or more volatile substances accumulated at the top end of the column, assuming there is a constant flow with relative constant composition feeding the Distillation column, and an accumulation of less volatile material in the bottom.

What is the name of the process that separates crude oil into more useful substances?
Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation. The components of crude oil are separated by a process which is known as fractional distillation. Crude oil is made of different components whose sizes, weights and boiling temperatures are different from each other. When the crude oil is heated with high pressure steam at a high temperature, it boils and forms vapour. The vapour enters a fractional distillation column and settled in the trays of the column. The trays have holes in them which raise the contact time among the vapour and liquids. The vapour rises in the column and cools, the hotter substances settle at the bottom of the column and the cooler substances rise to the top of the column. The substances in the vapour condense and the fractions of liquid collect in the tray and pass to condensers and storage tanks.
What is the condensed gas taken from a distillation column called?
The distillate.
