If you have a liquid which is a mixture of different chemicals which have different boiling points, you can boil them off, one chemical at a time, capturing the resulting vapor and condensing it into a pure chemical.

What is the advantage of simple distillation to fractional distillation?

Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.

How distillation efficiency can be improved in fractional distillation?

Depending on the boiling points of the various components in a complex mixture, the pure components can be obtained and the process is known as fractional distillation. The distillation efficiency can be further increased by increasing the fractional column surface area. The aim of fractional distillation is to achieve high purity of components.
