Distillation Diagram

A distillation diagram is a visual tool that illustrates how a mixture of liquids is separated into its individual components based on their boiling points. It typically shows the temperature and vapor composition at different points along the distillation column. As the mixture heats up, the more volatile components vaporize first, rise through the column, and are then condensed back into liquid at different stages. This diagram helps engineers understand and optimize the separation process, ensuring the desired components are efficiently isolated for use or further processing.
