Question

• How to separate pure water from seawater?
• Application of distillation

Answer 1

Answer:

by the process of evaporation

Distillation has long been used as the separation process in the chemical and petroleum industries because of its reliability, simplicity, and low-capital cost. It is employed to separate benzene from toluene, methanol or ethanol from water, acetone from acetic acid, and many multicomponent mixtures.
