Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Chemistry)
CONT

Vacuum distillation is a technique that uses a vacuum to extract analytes from a sample. A condensing column is used in the technique to condense water that may also be present in the sample. A cryogenically cooled trap (cryotrap) is used to condense the compounds of interest. During a vacuum distillation procedure a sample is evacuated to a low pressure vaporizing volatile compounds, including water. The condenser column retains vaporized water and those vaporized compounds that are not condensed in the column are frozen in the cryotrap.

CONT

The water not evaporated in the diffusion tower will be collected at the bottom as brine and pumped through the regeneration heater using a brine pump. The air/water mixture enters a condensing tower where the water vapor is condensed into fresh liquid water that is collected in the sump of the condenser.

CONT

... a 4-stage condensation column can easily produce a vapor product stream containing 85 wt% ethanol from a pervaporation permeate stream containing 35 wt% ethanol.

French

  • Équipement (Chimie)
CONT

L'évaporateur rotatif. C'est la technique la plus rapide et la plus efficace d'extraction de solvant. Son utilisation se limite le plus souvent à l'élimination des solvants de basse température d'ébullition. [...] Description. 1. Bain d'eau distillée. 2. Ballon contenant le solvant à extraire. 3. Thermostat. 4. Colonne de condensation des vapeurs. 5. Ballon où l'on recueille les solvants. 6. Connexion [...] entrée et sortie d'eau de la colonne de condensation.
