When the distribution ratio is low, continuous methods of extraction are used. This procedure makes use of a continuous flow of immiscible solvent through the solution if the solvent is volatile, it is recycled by distillation and condensation and is dispersed in the aqueous phase by means of a sintered glass disc or equivalent device. Apparatus is available for effecting such continuous extractions with automatic return of the volatilised solvent (see the Bibliography, Section 9.10). 

The dominance of distillation-based methods for the separation of liquid mixtures makes a number of points about RCM and DRD significant. Residue curves trace the liquid-phase composition of a simple single-stage batch stillpot as a function of time. Residue curves also approximate the liquid composition profiles in continuous staged or packed distillation columns operating at infinite reflux and reboil ratios, and are also indicative of many aspects of the behavior of continuous columns operating at practical reflux ratios (12).

Dimethylnaphthalene concentrate contains significant amounts of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene bound in a binary eutectic with 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene. This eutectic cannot be broken by distillation or solvent crystallization. A practical method for separating this eutectic mixture of 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene and 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene has been achieved. Selective adsorption of 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene from a dimethylnaphthalene concentrate is obtained with sodium type Y molecular sieves. 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene then can be crystallized from the unadsorbed raffinate fraction. Separation factors of 6 to 8 are obtained, indicating the high selectivity of these particular molecular sieves for this adsorption. Previous work in this area achieved a separation factor of 2.7. A continuous method has been developed for adsorption and desorption of 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene. Toluene has been selected as the optimum desorbent. This process makes 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene potentially available. 

Methods of separation of hydrocarbons became more diversified. Fractional distillation was improved by the use of azeotropic and extractive distillation. Continuous adsorption on solids such as active charcoal or silica gel was established. Liquid-hquid solvent extraction, already used in petroleum refining, was adapted to the concentration and purification of some of the raw materials for petroleum chemicals finally, the formation of physical complexes, the so-called clathrate compounds, which permit separation of hydrocarbons of different shapes, is being developed as a new separation method, now known as extractive crystalhzation. 

Truly multicomponent solutions based on continuous distillation shortcut methods have been proposed for batch distillation. The Fenske, Underwood, and Gilliland equations or correlations are commonly used in conjunction with each other to solve continuous distillation problems as described in Section 12.3. Diwekar and Madhavan (1991) describe how these techniques may be modified for the design of batch distillation columns for variable and constant reflux cases.

In large-scale work, particularly in the petroleum industry, considerable use is made of continuous methods for riscmUy determination. Such a method might conceivably be modified for distillation on a laboratory scale. Fritzsche [71] has given a survey of visco.simeters for continuous on-line operation in oil refineries.

Since separations are ubiquitous in chemical plants and petroleum refineries, chemical engineers must be familiar with a variety of separation methods. We will first focus on some of the most common chemical engineering separation methods flash distillation, continuous column distillation, batch distillation, absorption, stripping, and extraction. These separations all contact two phases and can be designed and analyzed as equilibrium stage processes. Several other separation methods that can also be considered equilibrium stage processes will be briefly discussed. Chapters 17 and 18 e5q)lore two inportant separations—membrane separators and adsorption processes— that do not operate as equilibrium stage systems. 

This chapter introduces how continuous distillation columns work and serves as the lead to a series of nine chapters on distillation. The basic calculation procedures for binary distillation are developed in Chapter 4. Multicomponent distillation is introduced in Chapter 5. detailed conputer calculation procedures for these systems are developed in Chapter 6. and sinplified shortcut methods are covered in Chapter 7. More complex distillation operations such as extractive and azeotropic distillation are the subject of Chapter 8. Chapter 9 switches to batch distillation, which is commonly used for smaller systems. Detailed design procedures for both staged and packed columns are discussed in Chapter 10. Finally, Chapter 11 looks at the economics of distillation and methods to save energy (and money) in distillation systems.

Traditionally-used techniques for the extraction of bioactive compounds are discontinuous, continuous, and hybrid approaches. The discontinuous techniques include the use of either organic solvents (sometimes assisted by ultrasound) or water, while steam distillation and vacuum distillation are continuous methods. Some methods involving both continuous and discontinuous approaches, such as distillation-extraction Soxhlet extraction has also been reported [14],... 

The separation of two liquids from each other by fractional distillation may be accomplished in two general ways (1) the batch, or intermittent, method and (2) the continuous method. In the former, the composition and temperature at any point in the system are changing continually in the latter, conditions at any point are constant. 

BSA nanoparticles were prepared using a desolvation method [9][12][18][19][20], In previous study, we set up a condition to prepare 200 nm sized BSA nanoparticles. BSA powder was added to distilled water. Ethanol was added continuously or intemiittently into 1% BSA solution at pH 7 under stirring at 700 rpm at room temperature until the solution became just turbid. Ethanol was added continuous in the solution with rate addition about 1.0 to 2.0 ml per min for continuous method and the rest time for each mL of ethanol addition was 5 min for intermittent method.
