Liquid mixtures with components that have similar boiling points, such as ethanol and water, would not be successfully separated by distillation. Additionally, if the components form an azeotrope - a mixture with a constant boiling point composition - separation by distillation may not be possible. Finally, mixtures involving heat-sensitive or thermally reactive components may degrade during the distillation process, affecting the separation outcome.
A compound can be separated into two or more substances through chemical reactions. Physical mixtures, such as an alloy or a solution, can also be separated into their individual components through physical means like filtration or distillation.
Mixtures can be separated based on their physical properties using methods such as filtration and distillation. Filtration is effective for separating solid particles from liquids by passing the mixture through a filter that retains the solids. Distillation takes advantage of differences in boiling points to separate components; for instance, heating a liquid mixture causes the component with the lower boiling point to vaporize and then condense it back into a liquid, effectively separating it.
Distillation can be used as a separation method.
Both filtration and distillation take advantage of differences in physical properties of the components in a mixture. Filtration separates solids from liquids based on particle size, allowing larger particles to be trapped while the liquid passes through. Distillation, on the other hand, exploits differences in boiling points to vaporize a liquid and then condense it back into a liquid form, effectively separating components based on their volatility.
Mixtures of liquids with significantly different boiling points can be separated by boiling, a process called fractional distillation. For example, you can separate a mixture of ethanol and water by heating it to a temperature at which ethanol boils, but water does not. The ethanol vaporizes, travels through a fractionating column, and then condenses back into a liquid form, thus separating it from the water.
Fluid mixtures, and mixtures of substances in different phases, that differ in their boiling points, can be separated by distillation. For instance: Sand and water (solid/water mix) by evaporating (distilling) the water away from the sand. Alcohol and water (liquid/liquid solution) can be fractionally distilled, collecting the alcohol first and then the water, which boils at a higher temperature. CO2 and water (gas/liquid solution) can be be fractionally distilled also. Evaporating sea water (solid/liquid solution) to crystallize the salt, although, this leaves a mixture of salts which can't be separated by normal distillation.

An example of a liquid-liquid solution that can be separated by distillation is the mixture of ethanol and water. This is because ethanol has a lower boiling point than water, allowing the two components to be separated based on their different boiling points during distillation.
A type of Mixture in which Solute and Solvent Both are liquid can be separated by Distillation. It is done on the basis of their boiling point and if boiling point is below 25 C then fractional distillation is done.

Any mixtures which comprises a liquid and an insoluble substance.
Some ways to separate mixtures include filtration, where a barrier is used to separate solid particles from a liquid, distillation, where liquids are separated based on their boiling points, and magnetism, where a magnet is used to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials.
