Answer: Distillation is a process in which we use the boiling point, condensation of the substances to separate them from each other, it is a physical separation not the chemical because physical property of substance is used in it.

Now, the distinction in between a laboratory distillation and an industrial distillation is that, the distillation process in laboratory distillation works in batches, while in the industrial distillation it occurs in continuous manner, industrial distillation is the large scale distillation.
