Term | Definition |

Distillation | The process of purification of compounds based on their volatility |
Simple distillation | Used for a mixture in which the boiling point of the liquids differ by at least 70 degrees Celsius |
Fractional distillation | Used for mixtures which the boiling point of the liquids in nearly similar or differs 25 degrees Celsius, cannot be separated by simple distillation |
Reflux | Used to create custom compounds that do not normally join together, with tight temperature controls and slow additions over an extended period of time |
Vacuum distillation | Special method of separating compounds at pressure lower than the standard atmospheric pressure, the compounds boil below their normal boiling temperature, and preferred for compounds boiling points are above 200 degrees Celsius, due to decomposing |
Separation | Used in liquid-liquid extractions to separate components of a mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different densities |
Filtration | Used to separate liquids from solids |
Extraction | Used and required when the desired compound has a limited solubility in a solvent and the impurity is insoluble in that solvent |
