Fractional distillation

A process that separates crude oil into groups of hydrocarbons by evaporating them and condensing them at different temperatures.

A separation process in which a mixture is vaporised and its components condense at different temperatures because they have different boiling points.

Separation of a liquid mixture into fractions using differences in boiling point.

A method of separating liquids using their different boiling points and repeated condensation and evaporation in a column.

Fractional distillation separates liquids with different boiling points using a fractionating column before the vapour reaches a condenser.

A technique that uses a fractionating column to separate a mixture of miscible liquids, particularly when their boiling points are relatively close.

A physical process that separates a mixture into fractions according to differences in boiling point.

The separation of a mixture into groups of substances by their different boiling points.

A method of separating mixed liquids with different boiling points using a fractionating column and a condenser.
