Distillation is defined as a natural process that separates a chemical mixture into its respective component based upon the different boiling point of the components present in the mixture.
2. Introduction to the process of
Distillation
ď Distillation is defined as a natural process that
separates a chemical mixture into its respective
component based upon the different boiling point
of the components present in the mixture.
ď It gained a large industrial application in
separating chemical components.
3. Industrial Application of Distillation
Column
ď Turpentine, naptha, phenols, toluene and
phytosterols are obtained using Distillation
column
ď Argon can be obtained in distillation plant via
employing air separation technology
Pyridine can also be obtained using distillation
column, Pyridine is an essential component used
in industries as a solvent and water proofing
agent.
4. Oil Refining
ď Distillation column are widely used in industries in
refining oils from the crude oil
ď When crude oil is extracted it contains many
hydrocarbons mixed in the extracted chemical
mixtures.
ď Hydrocarbons boils at the different temperatures
and can be separated from each other using
distillation column
ď Each separated hydrocarbon offer various
application in chemical industries.
5. Desalinizing Water
ď Distillation Plants is abon to the areas where
water is not available in sufficient quantity or is
impure
ď Distillation column provide an effective means
to supply pure water to those regions
ď Distillation plants can convert ocean water into
drinking water and supply it to areas having
scarcity of water.
6. Distilled Spirits
ď Liquor, beer and wine are produced after
undergoing through several stages of distillation
which eliminates the additive and produce a final
distilled form of the spirits.
Other Applications
ď Industries dealing in production of various
cosmetic product, pharma products, and
chemicals.
ď It is also used in several manufacturing industries
