Molecular distillation is used industrially for purification of oils.
2.
Molecular distillation occurs at lower temperatures and reduces the problem of thermal decomposition.
3.
Molecular distillation is used industrially for purification of oils . It is also used to enrich tocopherols from deodorizer distillate of soybean oil ( DDSO ).
4.
Molecular distillation is vacuum distillation below the pressure of 0.01 torr . 0.01 torr is one order of magnitude above high vacuum, where fluids are in the free molecular flow regime, i . e . the mean free path of molecules is comparable to the size of the equipment.
