DISTILLATION HISTORY • Distilling was used as early as 3500 BC in Mesopotamia where perfume makers had developed it as a technique for isolating the scented oils of flowers and plants‚ what we know as “attar”. • Around 1100 AD wine was first distilled to make spirit by Irish monks who travelled around Europe. • The results of distillation were considered to have magical powers and this led to alcohol being called “water of life” or “usige beatha” in Gaelic‚ “eau de vie” in French

Principles of Distillation What is distillation? Simply‚ distillation is the process in which a liquid is vaporized (turned to steam)‚ recondensed (turned back into a liquid) and collected in a container. Nature uses a form of distillation to turn salt water (seawater) into fresh water (rain). Why do you use distillation to recycle waste solvents? Solvent-based waste contains volatile material (solvents) and non-volatile material (contaminants like paint‚ ink‚ grease‚ fiberglass‚ etc.). Many of the

Steam Distillation 6.6.12 Aim: To isolate and extract citrol from lemongrass oil using steam distillation. Theory: Impure chemicals are usually purified using distillation‚ allowing the changes in boiling points to separate the substances. Chemicals with high boiling points decompose before reaching the temperature necessary for separation‚ leading to the invention of steam distillation. The contamination is separated at lower temperatures and allows the separation of chemicals from their
Premium Distillation
Distillation is a commonly used method for purifying liquids and separating mixtures of liquids into their individual components. Familiar examples include the distillation of crude fermentation broths into alcoholic spirits such as gin and vodka‚ and the fractionation of crude oil into useful products such as gasoline and heating oil. In the organic lab‚ distillation is used for purifying solvents and liquid reaction products. To understand distillation‚ first consider what happens upon heating

Distillation is a process in which compounds that are in the same solution become separated by their boiling points. For this to occur‚ a heterogeneous mixture has to be placed into a distiller‚ in this experiment a solution of 1:1 water and methanol was distilled. When distilling substances there are various methods of distillation that can be used. In this lab‚ simple and fractional distillation was used. The simple distiller is composed of a 100ml round bottom flask that is attached to: a

Simple Distillation Objective The purpose of doing this experiment is to separate two miscible liquids samples of cyclohexane and toluene using simple distillation. The objectives will be to record boiling range and volumes (mL) of distillates that are attained during the process of distillation. Background Distillation is a frequently used technique for separating mixtures based on differences in the boiling points of components in the mixture. The product obtained by distillation‚ is termed

Distillation of vodka Athena Bianca Mattus*‚ Rency Mae Silvestre‚ Maria Robelaine Tenefrancia‚ Shaira Mae Yu Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science *Corresponding author; e-mail: tinabianca_09@yahoo.com Abstract Through simple distillation‚ the percent ethanol and percent loss of 15 mL of vodka was computed. The calculations were supported by a flammability test. With the distillation process reaching 100oC‚ 6.0 mL of distillate was collected. The determination of ethanol from the distillate

Distillation of Alcoholic Beverages Abstract We used a Quickfit Set Up in order to perform a Simple Distillation procedure. We used 15mL of The Bar as our distillate. We separated and calculated the alcohol content of the said beverage by the distillation process. Introduction Alcoholic beverages are undeniably part of our culture for a long time already. It has many purposes‚ like‚ medical‚ hygienic‚ recreational. But‚ like everything else‚ if taken excessively‚ that is a different story

Experiment 1: Simple Distillation and Boiling Points- Separation of Liquids February 24‚ 2014 Analysis In this experiment‚ the distillation of three groups of two miscible liquids was performed. First‚ Ethanol and 2-Propanol were distilled. The boiling points of ethanol and 2-propanol had a difference of 5°C. The percent recovery for both ethanol and 2-propanol were both 0%. The percent recovery of the intermediate was 96%. The percent efficiency calculated of ethanol and 2-propanol was 0% efficient
