Welcome to the world of fractional distillation, where the most interesting whiskies often come from the most unusual numbers. The Beast of Dufftown’s Mathematical Mystery.

Fractional distillation is the variation of this process that allows for crude oil to begin its process of refinement. This oil is a mixture of a variety of different elements, ...

Fractional distillation is rarely used anymore. Almost all fuel “refining” is done with Catalytic Crackers. Not unlike the catalytic converter in a car breaking down unburned gasoline, ...

THE expression ‘fractional distillation’ inevit-ably recalls the name of Young to the older generation, but his book was written before the days when the art was of industrial significance and ...

IF YOU thought the Higgs boson was elusive, consider the case of dark matter. The Higgs—the particle that gives other subatomic species mass—was predicted in 1964 but actually nabbed only last ...

In this video, Fran Scott explains fractional distillation - the separation of crude oil into fractions. Crude oil is a finite resource; petrol and other fuels are produced from it using ...

America's new craft distilleries use high-tech equipment to make their whiskey, gin, and other spirits. But they rely on the same laws of fractional distillation that humans have been using to ...

This article was originally published with the title “ Apparatus for Fractional Distillation in Vacuum ” in SA Supplements Vol. 26 No. 667supp (October 1888), p. 10658 doi:10.1038 ...

Once it's collected and taken to a refinery, fractional distillation is performed. Distillation and condensation are processes that, put simply, turn a liquid into a vapor and then back again.

IN his preface Prof. Young says that he wrote this book in the hope that the solution of the difficulties of fractional distillation might be rendered easier. He has written an eminently practical ...
