D) Light ends

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) Correct. Packing is material used in a distillation column to maximize the contact area between the liquid and gas to effect separation.
B) Incorrect. Fraction is one component of the distillate that has a particular boiling point that is different from the boiling point of the other fractions in the column.
C) Incorrect. Heavy ends are materials in a distillation column that boil at the highest temperature, found at the bottom of a distillation column.
D) Incorrect. Light ends, also called distillate or overhead takeoff, are materials in a distillation column that boil at the lowest temperature and that come off the top of a fractionation tower.
