What is the process that separates components from mixtures?

In the petrochemical industry, this is called fractionation. Another common use is distillation.


What is the aim of distillation?

Distillation is a form of separation, which takes advantage of the fact that different substances have different boiling points. It is often used to purify a liquid by separating it from dissolved solids. Fractional distillation is more complex and separates mixtures of liquids.


What separates distillation?

Distillation is a method for the liquids separation.


What is the process that separates a mixture based on the boiling points?

That's "fractional distillation" or in the world of oil, "fracking."


What is the difference between zeotropic and near-azeotropic?

zeotrope is a liquid mixture that shows no local maximum or minimum when vapour pressure is plotted as a function of composition.[1] Such a mixture is separable into its component parts by fractional distillation azeotropic distillation[1] is any of a range of techniques used to break an azeotrope in distillation. In chemical engineering, azeotropic distillation usually refers to the specific technique of adding another component to generate a new, lower-boiling azeotrope that is heterogeneous (e.g. producing two, immiscible liquid phases), such as the example below with the addition of benzene to water and ethanol. This practice of adding an entrainer which forms a separate phase is a specific sub-set of (industrial) azeotropic distillation methods, or combination thereof. In some senses, adding an entrainer is similar to extractive distillation.
