I'm doing one at work right now. About 260C, 0.15 mm of vacuum. Yay.

It was a simple distillation with an unknown mixture of two hydrocarbons. Next week is fractional.

Usually you take a precut that contains undesirables so your heart cut (the stuff you want) is pure. When doing polymerizations you're always gonna get some stuff you don't want. Separation is the hardest part of process chemistry.
