This paper analyzes and compares the commonalities and specific characteristics of various distillation techniques, including normal pressure distillation, air-condensation distillation, distillation of flammable and explosive low-boiling organics, reduced pressure distillation, fractional distillation, steam distillation, and rotary evaporation. The scope and conditions for applying each experimental operation are clarified, and detailed standard operating recommendations are provided for each type of distillation. Additionally, common non-standard or incorrect practices are highlighted. These standardization suggestions are scientific, reasonable, and highly applicable, contributing to improved experimental efficiency, success rates, and overall safety.
