Question

what is azeotropic distillation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemical engineering, azeotropic distillationusually refers to the specific technique of adding another component to generate a new, lower-boiling azeotrope that is heterogeneous (e.g. producing two, immiscible liquid phases), such as the example below with the addition of benzene to water and ethanol.

• Azeotropic distillation is the use of a third component to separate two close-boiling components. This is done by means of the formation of an azeotropic mixture between one of the original components and the third to increase the difference in the boiling points and facilitate separation by distillation.
