azeotropic distillation of water

Azeotropic Mixtures - In case of solutions showing positive deviation from Raoult's law, at one of the intermediate compositions, the total vapor pressure is the highest and the boiling point is the lowest. Similarly in case of solutions showing negative deviations from Raoult's law, at o..

The digested reaction mixture, on cooling, is transferred to a round bottomed distillation flask, and distilled with a concentrated alkali solution (NaOH). Ammonia produced is absorbed in a known volume of HCl solution of a known strength...

In the partial separation of heavy water from ordinary water, advantage is taken of the small difference in the boiling points of protium oxide (373.2 K) and deuterium oxide (374.3 K). Since the difference in boiling points is very small, a long fractionating column (..

This liquid air contains two main substances, nitrogen and oxygen in liquid forms whose boiling points are -196 o C and -183 o C respectively. So when this liquid air is allowed to warm up, nitrogen with low boiling point boils over first and is separated. What remains behind i..

It is used for separating liquids having boiling points differing by 10-20 degrees. The liquid having the lower boiling point distills over first, and the other liquid component is left behind. In this process, vaporization and condensation occur side by sid..

Destructive Distillation of Coal - When coal is heated without air, it does not burn but produces many by-products. This process of heating coal in the absence of air is called destructive distillation of coal. The main by products are: coke coal tar amino acid liquor coal gas T..

The outgoing hot vapors from the main iron still preheat coal tar obtained from the destructive distillation of coal, in a pre-heater. In this process, coal tar loses most of the water it contains, along with some low boiling hydrocarbons. It is then sent to the main iron still..

The products of destructive distillation of coal are extensively used on an industrial scale for various purposes. Coke This is a black porous substance, which is left when coal undergoes destructive distillation. It is a very good fuel and when ignited it burns almost with no s..
