The Vigreaux column, a long glass tube with indentations in it, was formerly used in this process, and a dephlegmator [dih-FLEG-meh-tor] is used for cooling during it.
The Vigreaux column, a long glass tube with indentations in it, was formerly used in this process, and a dephlegmator [dih-FLEG-meh-tor] is used for cooling during it. Laboratory versions of this process often use Fenske helices, Raschig Rings, ceramic chips, steel wool, or coiled class pipes called Liebig condensers to provide a greater surface area for condensation. Performed in large towers at refineries to separate petroleum into its components by exploiting their different boiling points, for 10 points, name this process by which a mixture of volatile liquids is separated into its components.
