Question

Why we use beads in Fractional clomn?

Answer 1

The efficiency of fractional distillationdepends on the use of thefractionating column. Thefractionating column is packed with glass beads. ... The glass beads areused to interrupt the flow of vapour by convection to improve mixing and attainment of thermal equilibrium at each level of the fractionating column
