Q

A separation technique is used to separate the components of a liquid solution, which depends upon the distribution of these various components between vapor and a liquid phase.

Q

When the liquid mixture flows along the heating plate and is heated, light and heavy liquid molecules escape into the gas phase because of difference molecules after escaping from liquid surface.

Q

characteristics are Very high vacuum
Evaporating surface must be close to the condensing surface
The liquid area is large to avoid boiling and evolution of the vapors is from surface only. Application, purification of oils and separating of vitamins

16
Q

Distillation method whereby the pressure above the liquid mixture to be distilled is reduced to less than its vapor pressure (usually less than atmospheric pressure) causing evaporation of the most volatile liquid(s) (those with the lowest boiling points).

Q

This distillation method works on the principle that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the ambient pressure.

A

vacuum distillation

18
Q

a type of distillation which is used with or without heating the solution.

A

vacuum distillation

19
Q

Temperature sensitive materials (such as beta carotene) require this type of distillation to remove solvents from the mixture without damaging the product.

A

vacuum distillation

20
Q

a type of distillation is sometimes referred to as low temperature distillation.
This type of distillation is in use in the oil industry.

A

vacuum distillation

21
Q

to the use of distillation in batches, meaning that a mixture is distilled to separate it into its component fractions before the distillation still is again charged with more mixture and the process is repeated.

A

batch distillation

22
Q

This is in contrast with continuous distillation where the feedstock is added and the distillate drawn off without interruption.

A

batch distillation

23
Q

a type of distillation has always been an important part of the production of seasonal, or low capacity and high-purity chemicals.

A

batch distillation

24
Q

it is a very frequent separation process in the pharmaceutical industry and in wastewater treatment units.

A

batch distillation

25
a type of distillation is often used when smaller quantities are distilled.
batch distillation
26
Ongoing separation in which a mixture is continuously (without interruption) fed into the process and separated fractions are removed continuously as output streams as time passes during the operation.
continuous distillation
27
A type of distillation that produces at least two output fractions.
continuous distillation
28
means that quantities related to the process do not change as time passes during operation.
steady state
29
is the partial vaporization that occurs when a saturated liquid stream undergoes a reduction in pressure by passing through a valve or other device.
flash distillation
30
If the valve or device is located at the entry into a pressure vessel so that the flash evaporation occurs within the vessel, then the vessel is often referred to as
flash drum
31
sometimes called equilibrium distillation
flash distillation
32
a type of distillation particularly common in petroleum industry.
flash distillation
33
Accomplishes the same thing as Multiple Simple Sequential Vaporization/ Condensation Cycles, by inserting a Fractionating Column between the Distillation Flask and the Distillation Head.
fractional distillation
34
in this type of distillation, With each cycle within the column, the composition of the vapor is progressively enriched in the lower boiling liquid.
fractional distillation
35
This process continues until most of the lower boiling compound is removed from the original mixture and condensed in the receiving flask.
fractional distillation
36
is defined as distillation in the presence of a miscible, high boiling, relatively non-volatile component, the solvent, that forms no azeotrope with the other components in the mixture.
extractive distillation
37
in this type of distillation, The solvent interacts differently with the components of the mixture thereby causing their relative volatilities to change.
extractive distillation
38
is a mixture of two or more liquids (chemicals) in such a ratio that its composition cannot be changed by simple distillation. This occurs because, when an azeotrope is boiled, the resulting vapor has the same ratio of constituents as the original mixture.
azeotropic distillation
39
Because their composition is unchanged by distillation, azeotropes are also called
constant boiling mixtures
40
refers to the specific technique of adding another component to generate a new, lower-boiling azeotrope that is heterogeneous (e.g. producing two, immiscible liquid phases), such as the addition of benzene to water and ethanol.
