Distillation is the process of separating two or more liquids based on differences in their boiling points. When the liquidsâ boiling points are very similar, however, separation by normal distillation becomes ineffective or impossible. Fractional distillation is a modified distillation process that allows the separation of liquids with similar boiling points. Boiling Points A liquidâs boiling point is the temperature at which it transforms to vapor.
