what is the temperature of destructive distillation
Dear Student,
Destructive distillation involves process of heating coal in the absence of air.
As a result of destructive distillation the coal does not burn but produces many by-products.
The process is generally carried out at temperatures around 450-500°C. The temperature of the furnace reaches around 1000°C.
