- 3. Pick out the wrong statement about distillation operation
Options- A. Distillation under vacuum is a substitute for steam distillation.
- B. In differential (simple) distillation, the vapour is removed as soon as it is formed without appreciable condensation.
- C. In flash (equilibrium) distillation, a definite fraction of liquid is vaporised in such a way that the evolved vapour & residual liquids are in equilibrium with each other.
- D. Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes. Discuss
Correct Answer: Flash distillation, differential distillation & steam distillation are all continuous distillation processes.
