Pressure is an important part in distillation because boiling points of different components to be separated depends on pressure, for normal distillation pressure is kept as 1 atmosphere but for components with high boiling points instead of rasing the temperature pressure is lowered till the vapor pressure of the components to be separated, hence the temperature to be raised becomes less, for example in vaccum distillation.

∙ 12y agoPressure is a critical factor in normal distillation. As the pressure is increased, the temperatures throughout the column will also increase and visa versa. Low pressures are often used to the separation of chemicals that are sensitive to high temperatures. High pressures are used to reduce the cooling requirements in the condenser. The pressure in a distillation column also has an effect on the vapor flow within the distillation column, as the pressure increases the vapor flow decreases.

How weeping avoid in distillation column?
Limiting the hole area to 13-14% prevents weeping in distillation columns. This may be limited by the allowable pressure drop specified for the column (too little leads vendors to specify a higher % hole area, thus causing weeping).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of distillation?
The advantages and disadvantages of distillation are quite vast. On advantage of distillation is that the water is pure and will not conduct electricity.
Chemists obtain pure petrol from crude oil what do you call this process?
fractional distillation
How flooding in distillation column control?
flooding in disillation column is control: 1) to reduce total crude charge, 2)to decrease the transfer temperture, 3) increase the tower reflux, 4) increase the tower pressure.
Uses of simple distillation?
Distillation is a method in chemistry to separate substances from a mixture according to their level of vitality. some examples of distillation are alcohol distillery, distilled water, production of gasoline, paraffin, kerosene etc.
How does operating temperature affect distillation?
Increasing pressure hinders the ability of two fluids with different boiling points to separate. Reducing pressure does the opposite and makes the fluids easier to separate based on boiling point.

How does low pressure affect distillation?
Lower pressure shifts the boiling point to lower temperatures. Eg. If your ingredience cannot be heated over 60°C you lower the pressure close enough to vacuum (like 200mBar) and the water in your sample evaporetes at lower temperatures. This is not only a rather mild way of distillation, it is also faster than regulation at atmospheric preassure.
