Steam distillation is a separation process which purifies isolate temperature-sensitive materials, such as natural aromatic compounds. In steam distillation, dry steam is passed through the plant material. These vapours undergo condensation and collection in receivers.
distillation under pressure is used for the purification of those substance which get decompose on their boiling point. so , a suction pump (vaccum) is fitted with a beaker in order to lower it's pressure, due to which boiling pressure decreases. so that it can be distilled of before reaching to its boiling point.
Fractional distillation is a type of distillation which involves the separation of miscible liquids. The process involves repeated distillations and condensations and the mixture is usually separated into component parts. The separation happens when the mixture is heated at a certain temperature where fractions of the mixture start to vaporize.
