Question

difference between steam distillation and fractional distillation

Answer 1

HELLO,MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

steam distillation is a special type of distillation for sensitive materials like natural aromatic compounds.

Answer 2

Steam distillation is a separation process that consists in distilling water together with other volatile and non-volatile components. It is often used to separate volatile essential oils from plant material. for example, to extract limonene (boiling point 176 °C) from orange peels.

Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts, or fractions. Chemical compounds are separated by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the mixture will vaporize.
