Distillation is a separation process that involves heating a liquid to create vapor and then cooling the vapor to return it to liquid form. This method exploits differences in boiling points of components in a mixture, allowing for the separation of substances based on their volatility. The process is commonly used in the production of spirits, purification of water, and the refining of petroleum. It can be performed in various configurations, such as simple distillation or fractional distillation, depending on the complexity of the mixture.
Separation by fractional destillation.
Yes: for example destillation, crystallisation, freezing .....
called: destillation, evaporisation, drying,
Steam is used as a boiling source in steam distillation because it allows for lower temperatures to be used in the distillation process, which is important for heat-sensitive compounds. The steam helps to carry the volatile components of the mixture being distilled, allowing for their separation from the non-volatile components. Additionally, using steam can reduce the risk of decomposition or degradation of the compounds being distilled.

Depends what you mean with nature !? Using a traditional destillation process, even if you use a rather hightech equipment, would result in maximum 95-96% Using chemical methods would take you very close to 100% Peter the Viking
Separation by destillation (evaporation / condensation) or freezing out (crystallisation at lower temperature). Both are not absolutely effective, no pure substances are obtained.
No, the distillation of petroleum is not a chemical reaction, so it does not have a specific enthalpy change associated with it. Distillation is a physical separation process based on the differences in boiling points of the components in petroleum.
We can, by filtration or destillation. Trouble is, it takes a fair amount of energy, so usually it makes more sense to look for freshwater.
ethanol has a boiling point of 78.4 oC wheras water has a boiling point of 100 oC under 1 ATM. Separation on this difference is possible, which can be a small destillation tower with enough plates and removal capabilities. This can be turned 'batch-wise' by entering a certain amount in the whole system. batch separation by just the destillation tower, might not be possible as removal of final product is always necessary

Yes, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), as being a fluid by itself, is in any ratio miscible with ('soluble in') water.At 96% ethanol the mixture has the lowest boiling point, so destillation of a water-ethanol will never give a higher ethanol content.
