A binary solution with strong negative deviations from Raoult's Law will have a maximum-boiling azeotrope, and either of the two components can be obtained by repeated distillation. If the solution exhibits positive deviations from Raoult's Law, on the other hand, the azeotrope will be minimum-boiling, and distillation will drive the composition of the distillate towards the azeotrope.
