lig is called sublimation

It is used for separation of sublimable volatile compounds


from non sublimable impurities .

This process is used for : Camphor, napthalene


generally ,
Antracene , benzoic and , pthelic anhydride ,
Antoaquinone .
etc

Feystallisation
It is based on the difference in solubilities of comp.
and impurities in a suitable solvent .

FRACTIONAL DISTELLATION

It is used when diff in BP blu two comp is less than

Examples : ① Acetone & Meot


② Banzene & Toluene
③ Etot and methylated spirit .

External pressure is reduced with the help of
vaccum pump so that BP is reduced .

This method is applicable for those substances


which have low decomposition [Link] direct
