Molecular distillation is a type of vacuum distillation used to purify and separate complex mixtures of substances with high boiling points or thermal instability. It is a process that involves heating the mixture to be distilled in a high vacuum environment, causing the molecules to evaporate and travel a short distance before condensing on a cooler surface. This allows for the separation of the components based on differences in their boiling points or vapor pressure.
1.Heating: The mixture is heated to a temperature above the boiling point of the compound with the highest boiling point in the mixture but below the temperature that causes decomposition or degradation of the mixture.
2.Evaporation: The heated mixture is fed into a vacuum chamber and exposed to low pressure, causing the molecules to evaporate.
3.Separation: The evaporated molecules travel a short distance before condensing on a cooler surface, such as a condenser, where they are collected and separated based on their boiling points or vapor pressure.
4.Collection: The condensed substances are collected in separate containers, resulting in highly purified components.
Molecular distillation is commonly used in the production of high-purity oils, waxes, and other substances in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering, and food processing. It is an effective method for separating compounds with similar boiling points and reducing the presence of impurities in complex mixtures.

Distillation is a method of separating compounds based on their unique physical properties (e.g., melting point, boiling point, crystallization, etc.). One of the most common forms of distillation is the use of boiling points. When the molecules of a compound are heat sensitive, processors use short-range distillation to separate them from each other.
