fractional distillation
Fractional distillation is a process used in chemistry to separate mixtures containing different components that have distinct boiling points. It works by heating the mixture to a temperature at which one or more components will vaporize, while others remain liquid. The vapor is then condensed and collected separately, achieving the separation of the components. This technique is most often used in refining oil and making spirits and alcohols.

Fractional distillation
Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts, or fractions, such as in separating chemical compounds by their boiling point by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the compound will vaporize. It is a special type of distillation. Generally the component parts boil at less than 25 °C from each other under a pressure of one atmosphere. If the difference in boiling points is greater than 25 °C, a simple distillation is used.
