Flash distillation is _______________________?

Correct answer: B. Used for multi-component systems like crude refining

  • A. Same as differential distillation
  • B. Used for multi-component systems like crude refining
  • C. Same as simple distillation
  • D. Most useful for handling binary systems

Explanation

Flash distillation is a single-stage equilibrium separation in which part of a feed vaporises suddenly, and it is especially useful for multicomponent mixtures such as crude-oil fractions. It is not the same as differential or simple batch distillation.
