But they rely on the same laws of fractional distillation—a difference in boiling points that allows them to separate ethanol from water—that humans have been using to make booze for centuries.

For example, liquid ethanol can be separated from a mixture of ethanol and water by fractional distillation. This method works because the liquids in the mixture have different boiling points.

Methanol, ethanol, and other solvents can also be distilled in fractional distillation units. In 2016 a second fractional distillation unit was purchased for campus with funds provided by Facilities ...

Crude oil can be separated into different fractions using fractional distillation. Combustion of fuels and the fire triangle. ... Ethanol, methanol and propanol are types of alcohol.

This solution, after removal of the precipitated common salt, was first concentrated over a water bath, under the diminished pressure of 100 m.m., and afterwards subjected to fractional ...
