America · Answer 1

Distillation unit operation is the technique which are used to separate MVC (more volatile component) from LVC (less volatile component) in chemical industry.

Distillation unit operation widely use in the industries and it basically consume huge energy amount in the form of heating.

The main aim of the distillation unit operation is:

To remove the light elements from the mixture of heavy elements. Separate the heavy components from the mixture of light components.

Principle of distillation unit operation works at very high temperature in which huge amount of molecule get escape from liquid phase into vapor phase. It also archive certain amount of kinetic energy.
