Biorefineries use a "reactive" form of this technique to convert organic acids to acid esters with high yields.
Biorefineries use a "reactive" form of this technique to convert organic acids to acid esters with high yields. Another modification of this technique uses a namesake type of column that is packed with plates or beads that increase surface area. Azeotropes cannot be separated by a "simple" type of this process and must be separated by the aforementioned "fractional" type instead. For 10 points, name this technique of separating liquids based on their boiling points.
