From the invisible to the visible world and back...

The distillation is a method used in chemistry to separate different liquids of a mixture about it Boiling point to obtained Each substance separately
The greater the difference between the boiling points of the substances in the mixture, the more effective the separation of their components; That means, the components will be obtained with a higher degree of purity.
I think this is very important for every carrier about chemistry ... because it is a very good method because it is effective and easier.
We use that for every separation in liquids and purify the compound.
Exist different tips of distillation.
Fractional distillation
Steam Distillation
Vacuum distillation
Centrifugal molecular distillation
Sublimation
Destructive distillation
About I know, The distillation it's use in the industries in different cases
For example in the obtaining of alcoholic drinks or in the obtaining of petroleum products
This is a benefit because of this method we obtaining: gas, naphtha kerosene, and lubricants. This is energy not renovate.
Maybe a disadvantage is that the heating may require a lot of energy to achieve boil some compounds
Without the distillation the obtaining of this compound will be more difficult.


In the laboratory of the university we have learned to mount a system of a simple distillation in this case we have a balloon whit the mixture and apply hot to boil the compound, and the gases will go to condenser.
The condenser with water can cool the compound to make it liquid again and recuperated.
It is known that distillation has been used for the purification of water for domestic use, schools or hospitals if there is not bottled water or clean tap water available. For this would be a good method for the future to save water and to return to reuse it.
This can help the environment and make an impact on the welfare of the people, due to the lack of fresh water in many regions, reducing the excessive consumption of water.

  3. I remember that in the first lab classes I did not like this method, but today I understand it and like it!

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Well, I'm not interested in this summer vacation, for many reasons first; I have no money second; this summer I do my pre-practice and...
