Vacuum distillation is a powerful technique used to purify compounds with high boiling points.
These compounds tend to decompose at their boiling temperature, which is above 392°F.
Some common examples include glycerine, glycerol, and propane-1,2,3-triol.
Vacuum distillation works by lowering the boiling point of the liquid using a vacuum pump.
The liquid to be distilled is heated in a distillation flask.
The vapor is then condensed back into a liquid for further purification or analysis.
This method is particularly useful in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
It helps in separating and purifying liquids that are sensitive to heat or have a high boiling point.
Vacuum distillation is also widely used in petroleum refining.
It is effective for separating different hydrocarbon compounds in crude oil.
