Principles of Distillation What is distillation? Simply‚ distillation is the process in which a liquid is vaporized (turned to steam)‚ recondensed (turned back into a liquid) and collected in a container. Nature uses a form of distillation to turn salt water (seawater) into fresh water (rain). Why do you use distillation to recycle waste solvents? Solvent-based waste contains volatile material (solvents) and non-volatile material (contaminants like paint‚ ink‚ grease‚ fiberglass‚ etc.). Many of the

Distillation of vodka Athena Bianca Mattus*‚ Rency Mae Silvestre‚ Maria Robelaine Tenefrancia‚ Shaira Mae Yu Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science *Corresponding author; e-mail: tinabianca_09@yahoo.com Abstract Through simple distillation‚ the percent ethanol and percent loss of 15 mL of vodka was computed. The calculations were supported by a flammability test. With the distillation process reaching 100oC‚ 6.0 mL of distillate was collected. The determination of ethanol from the distillate

Distillation of Alcoholic Beverages Abstract We used a Quickfit Set Up in order to perform a Simple Distillation procedure. We used 15mL of The Bar as our distillate. We separated and calculated the alcohol content of the said beverage by the distillation process. Introduction Alcoholic beverages are undeniably part of our culture for a long time already. It has many purposes‚ like‚ medical‚ hygienic‚ recreational. But‚ like everything else‚ if taken excessively‚ that is a different story

Steam Distillation 6.6.12 Aim: To isolate and extract citrol from lemongrass oil using steam distillation. Theory: Impure chemicals are usually purified using distillation‚ allowing the changes in boiling points to separate the substances. Chemicals with high boiling points decompose before reaching the temperature necessary for separation‚ leading to the invention of steam distillation. The contamination is separated at lower temperatures and allows the separation of chemicals from their

Distillation is a process in which compounds that are in the same solution become separated by their boiling points. For this to occur‚ a heterogeneous mixture has to be placed into a distiller‚ in this experiment a solution of 1:1 water and methanol was distilled. When distilling substances there are various methods of distillation that can be used. In this lab‚ simple and fractional distillation was used. The simple distiller is composed of a 100ml round bottom flask that is attached to: a

EXPERIMENT 7 - Distillation – Separation of a Mixture Purpose: a) To purify a compound by separating it from a non-volatile or less-volatile material. b) To separate a mixture of two miscible liquids (liquids that mix in all proportions) with different boiling points. Equipment / Materials: large test tubes(3) clamp (1 or 2) ringstand boiling chips test tube rack (1) heating mantle glass adaptor thermometer adaptor 10-mL graduated cylinder condenser (1 or 2) grease 50- mL round bottom flask 50-

Is Distillation? Answer: Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids‚ the liquid can be heated to force components‚ which have different boiling points‚ into the gas phase. The gas is then condensed back into liquid form and collected. Repeating the process on the collected liquid to improve the purity of the product is called double distillation. Although

Distillation of Alcoholic Beverages Pamela Mallari*‚ Symon Manuel‚ Katherine Merene and Charlene Mondelo Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Distillation is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by the difference in how easily they vaporize. This experiment aims to (1) compare the efficiency of simple and fractional distillation‚ (2) distill and calculate the % of ethanol and (3) determine the % loss in distillation. Two
