Simple Distillation of Liquid Mixtures  Vapour at composition a’ 2 is condensed, it becomes richer in the more volatile component. TA*TA* TB*TB* ZAZA T / K a1a1 boilcondense a2a2 a’ 2 a3a3

Fractional Distillations  Repeat the evaporation and condensation cycle! TA*TA* TB*TB* ZAZA T / K a1a1 yAyA boil condense a2a2 a’ 3 a’ 2 a3a3 a4a4 a’ 4

The distillation of partially miscible liquids  Complete miscibility occurs before boiling commences. ZAZA T / K vapour 1 phase liquid 2 phase liquid L + V a1a1 a2a2 a’ 2

The distillation of partially miscible liquids  Liquids remain immiscible even up to the boiling temperature. ZAZA T / K vapour 1 phase liquid 2 phase liquid L + V bac

Liquid-Solid Phase Diagrams  Freezing points of solutions are dependent on the compositions of the solutions!  We have already examined briefly the freezing point depression of dilute solutions. where  fus,A H = enthalpy of fusion of A T A and T * A are the freezing points of the solution and pure A, respectively.

 For a solution of B in liquid A. T/K T* B XAXA liquid solid liquidus curve

 For a solution of A in liquid B. T/K T* A XAXA liquid solid liquidus curve

 Overlapping the curves leads to the liquid-solid phase diagram for A and B. liquid solid B + solution T* A solid A + solid B solid A + solution XAXA eutectic T* B

A Blow-up of the Two-phase Region  Tie lines connect the liquid phase of specified composition in equilibrium with either solid A or B. liquid solid B + solution T* B solid A + solid Bsolid A + solution XAXA eutectic tie line
