Corps de garnissage pour colonne de distillation. (...) Le premier garnissage utilisé était constitué de petits cylindres creux ayant un diamètre extérieur égal à leur hauteur: les anneaux Raschig réalisés en céramique ou en métal. On a créé par la suite d’autres formes telles que les "selles de Berl", (...) on fractionne la hauteur du garnissage en plusieurs tronçons de 1 à 2 m d’épaisseur supportés par des grilles, et on redistribue le liquide entre chaque tronçon par des pulvérisateurs ou des plateaux distributeurs. 2, record 2, French, - selle%20de%20Berl

Dans le fractionnement par déplacement, après avoir introduit dans la colonne une certaine quantité du mélange à fractionner, on fait pénétrer en continu dans la colonne un composé liquide, l'agent désorbant, qui doit présenter une adsorbabilité plus élevée que celles des constituants du mélange. Cet agent désorbant déplace alors tous les constituants qui, par un effet de déplacement mutuel, se classent dans la colonne par ordre de leur adsorbabilité. À la sortie de la colonne, on recueille successivement les trois composés [...]. Les fronts de séparation entre les couches de composés purs sont plus ou moins larges, fonction des cinétiques d’adsorption et de désorption ainsi que de la diffusion axiale. 1, record 4, French, - fractionnement%20par%20d%C3%A9placement
