Distillation & Rectification

Concept

Distillation and rectification are the standard procedure for separating mixtures of liquids with different boiling points by intensive mass transfer between liquid and vapor phase. A typical example of distillation is the separation of fermented mash into raw alcohol and stillage. Rectification is used for concentration and purification of the alcohol.
