Fractionation in column

Plumieride also can be isolated from the bark of Plumeria bicolor [114]. Powdered bark (4 kg) was extracted in methanol, and the crude extract was washed with acetonitrile. The material was re-extracted with chloroform, and this extract was fractionated in column chromatography using silica gel (900 g) and different solvents of increasing polarity. Plumieride was eluted with chloroform/ethyl acetate (1 1) and recrystallized from methanol. 

The results of the analysis of one SBS sample are summarized in Table III, in which the ultraviolet optical density and the average height in GPC obtained from the area under curve are listed for each fraction in columns 2 and 3, respectively. A conversion factor of 7.2 obtained from polystyrene (PS) calibration was used to convert the optical density to the styrene contribution to the average chromatogram height which is tabulated in column 4. The difference between columns 3 and 4 was taken as the relative weight of butadiene after being multiplied by 1.37, a correction for the difference in refractive indices of styrene and butadiene (column 5). 

The numerators are the same, but the fraction in column B has a smaller denominator, denoting a larger quantity. 

Under such conditions the exit gas mixtures may consist of undecomposed alcohol, aldehydes or ketones, hydrogen, and small amounts of carbon oxides and hydrocarbons. This mixture is fractionated in columns built in two sections the lower of which delivers unreacted alcohol, and the upper gives the final alcohol stripping and delivers the aldehyde. The non-condensible gases pass to a scrubber for final recovery of aldehyde or ketone. 

Catalytic reduction can be carried out in batches in steel or, preferably, in stainless-steel kettles equipped with agitators or in towers packed with a catalyst and equipped for recycling operation. Gas-liquid and liquid-liquid separators are required, as well as filters or centrifuges to remove the catalyst, which may be used as such or deposited on inert carriers. Where necessary, purification is carried out, as by fractionation in columns.

In the a/c-path (Fig. 11.2-3), the ternary feed is fractionated in column C-1 into an overhead fraction, which is free of high boiler c, and a bottom fraction, which is free of low boiler a. Thus, the first separation is performed between the low and high boiling components of the mixture a and c. The intermediate boiler b is present in both fractions produced in column C-1. The two binary fractions of C-1 are fractionated in the subsequent columns C-2 and C-3, respectively. 

Water is removed as overhead fraction in column C-1 (Fig. 11.4-4). The bottom fraction B with azeotropic concentration is fed into column C-2 to be mixed with the entrainer and further fractionation. Pure HNO3 is recovered as overhead product t>2. The bottom fraction lying close by the boundary distillation line is stripped with steam to remove residual HNO3. Thus, the boundary distillation line is crossed by the stripping step. The diluted sulfuric add B2 is fed into a single stage distillation unit for removal of most of the water. Nitric acid, when boiled, always forms some NO that colors the liquid. Therefore, NO is removed by further stripping with air to get a clear hquid.

Only a few papers can be found in the literature that deal with theoretical questions on this topic. With the help of continuous thermodynamics, a theory to model stepwise fractionation of homopolymers was developed [45-47]. This theoretical framework could be extended to fractionation in columns [48-50]. The application of the developed theory was able to contribute to the improvement of the fraction technique [49]. Folie [51] studied the fractionation of copolymers. In his theoretical framework, the polymer was described by pseudocomponents with respect to the molecular weight however, the polydispersity with respect to the... 

This contribution aims at the development of a theoretical tool for optimization of copolymer fractionation in columns, where both polydispersities are completely taken into account.
