Steam distillation offers an advantage in volatile compounds that are unstable or have high boiling points can codistill with water at relatively low temperatures. This process avoids decomposition that might occur at the normal boiling point of the compound of interest.

What is separated compounds?

Separated compounds refer to the products obtained after a mixture has been separated by physical or chemical means. This process involves isolating individual substances from a mixture for further analysis or use. Separation techniques include distillation, filtration, chromatography, and extraction.


What is destructive distillation of coal?

Destructive distillation of coal is heating coal in a retort until its chemical structure breaks down (destructive or nonreversible). The products are: coal gas, coal tar, and coke. Ordinary distillation is reversible by just remixing the products. Destructive distillation is nonreversible.

Fractional distillation of crude oil?

Fractional distillation is a process used to separate crude oil into different components based on their boiling points. The crude oil is heated in a fractional distillation column, and as the temperature increases, the different hydrocarbons vaporize and condense at different heights in the column. The condensed fractions are collected at different levels and can be further refined into products such as gasoline, diesel, and other fuels.


What is fractional distillation of coal?

Fractional distillation of coal is a process in which coal is heated to produce a range of hydrocarbon products, such as gases, liquids, and solids. These products can be further refined and used as fuels or chemical feedstocks. The process takes advantage of the different boiling points of the components in coal to separate them based on their molecular weight and properties.

Why steam distillation is preferred over the fractional distillation?

Steam distillation is preferred over fractional distillation in cases where the compounds are heat sensitive and may decompose at high temperatures. Steam distillation also allows for the separation of compounds that are immiscible or have different boiling points that are very close together. Additionally, steam distillation is often a more efficient and cost-effective method for isolating volatile compounds from natural products.

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
