Methanol has a boiling point of 64.7, while ethanol’s boiling point is 78.4. Can distillation be used for industrial separation?

Personally, I think it’s possible; I seem to have analyzed this on the Chemical Engineering 707 forum before, but I’ve forgotten the specific details. http://bbs.hg707.com

It is possible to separate them, but it seems rather difficult to do so; it is still challenging to obtain methanol with a low ethanol content through methanol distillation. The two have too low relative volatilities and similar properties. I’ve never heard of any similar devices either; I plan to conduct experiments. If anyone has relevant information, please share it so I can take a look
