Date: 2020-04-20

This video presents an introduction to azeotropic distillation. By the end of this lecture you should be able to:

- Understand how to represent ternary mixtures on ternary diagrams for distillation
- Generate residue curves
- Know the difference between distillation and residue curves

This video was recorded live in a large lecture.
