Rectification batch

Ho Rectification Batch distillation without rectification corresponds to the simple distillations of Chap. 6, and the calculations of the concentrations as a function of the amount distilled can be made by Eqs. (6-8) and (6-7). 

Although batch distillation is covered in a subsequent separate section, it is appropriate to consider the application of RCM and DRD to batch distulation at this time. With a conventional batch-rectification column, a charge of starting material is heated and fractionated, with a vapor product removed continuously. The composition of the vapor prodiic t changes continuously and at times drastically as the lighter component(s) are exhausted from the stiU. Between points of drastic change in the vapor composition, a cut is often made. Successive cuts can be removed until the still is nearly diy. The sequence, number, and limiting composition of each cut is dependent on the form of... 

Batch Rectification at Constant Reflux Using an analysis similar to the simple batch still, Smoker and Rose [Trans. Am. Inst. Chem. Eng., 36, 285 (1940)] developed the following equation ... 

For preliminary studies of batch rectification of multicomponent mixtures, shortcut methods that assume constant molal overflow and negligible vapor and liquid holdup are useful. The method of Diwekar and Madhaven [Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 30, 713 (1991)] can be used for constant reflux or constant overhead rate. The method of Sundaram and Evans [Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., 32, 511 (1993)] applies only to the case of constant remix, but is easy to apply. Both methods employ the Fenske-Uuderwood-GiUilaud (FUG) shortcut procedure at successive time steps. Thus, batch rectification is treated as a sequence of continuous, steady-state rectifications. 

For a constant reflux ratio, the value can be almost any ratio however, this ratio affects the number of theoretical plates and, consequently, actual trays installed in the rectification section to achieve the desired separation. Control of batch distillation is examined in Reference 134.

This mode of batch rectification requires the continuous adjustment of the reflux to the colunrn in order to achieve a steady overhead distillate composition. Starting with a kettle obviously rich in the more volatile component, a relatively low reflux ratio will be required to achieve the specified overhead distillate composition. With time, the reflux ratio must be continuously increased to maintain a fixed overhead composition. Ultimately, a practical maximum reflux is reached and the operation normally would be stopped to avoid distillate contamination.

Gasoline and kerosene rerunning was accomplished primarily in horizontal batch shell stills heated by direct firing or internal steam coils and surmounted by a vertical rectification column with partial condensers to supply reflux. The rectifying column in some installations was packed with iron rings, pipe fittings, earthware crocks, tin cans, or any suitable material readily available. In other units a fairly common type of column was the Heckmann bubble cap tower. 

The development of adsorption as a method of fractionation has been analogous to the development of distillation. In both cases the operation was originally carried out in a simple batch unit. After many years, rectification was added and close fractionation became possible. In the case of distillation this was done by adding a packed or bubble plate column to the still kettle. In the case of adsorption it involved the use of an adsorbent-packed column to obtain chromatographic separation, which gave a rectification effect. 

The best method for recovering the alcohol is to collect the 60-70% alcohol and rectify it and to collect the 80% alcohol separately and use it for the dehydration of the next batch of nitrocellulose. 1251. of 95% alcohol is consumed per 100 kg of dehydrated nitrocellulose of this 30-35 1. remain in the nitrocellulose and about 90 1. are recovered by rectification.

Agitator 5 is filled with methyldichlorosilane from batch box 1, with benzene from batch boxes 2 and 3 and with recirculating methylchlorosi-lanes (after rectification) from batch box 4. The reactive mixture is mixed in agitator 5 for 20-30 minutes after that one determines the chlorine content and density. The mixture prepared in this way is then sent into batch box 6 and from there to the synthesis. Then autoclave 8 is electrically heated (it can be heated by sending vapour into the jacket) and fed part of... 

For 1 hour vacuum rectification tower 21 operates in the self-serving mode, and then starts separating benzene, which is collected in collector 24 (from there it can be sent to the synthesis again into batch box 3). After the distillation of benzene residual pressure of 107 GPa is created in the rectification system after the constant mode is established, the intermediate fraction is separated into receptacle 25. If the methylphenyldichlorosilane content in the intermediate fraction exceeds 5%, this fraction can be sent for repeated rectification in tank 20. After the intermediate fraction, the main fraction, methylphenyldichlorosilane, is separated into receptacle 26. The fraction with the density of 1.1750-1.1815 g/cm3 and chlorine content of 36.9-37.8% is separated. The separation is conducted as long as reflux is extracted. From receptacle 26, technical methylphenyldichlorosilane flows into collector 27. 

From batch boxes 1 and 2 the original reactants in given quantities are sent into agitator 3, where they are mixed with nitrogen, which is fed from container 6, for 10-15 min. Before the installation is launched, reactor 8 is loaded to 2/3 of its volume with reactive mixture and electrically heated. The temperature is raised to 250-260 °C and after it is held for 5 hours, the reactive mixture from apparatus 3 is continuously fed through run-down box 4. The products formed are separated from the lower part of the reactor at 2-2.1 MPa. The products are sent through cooler 10 are sent into separator 11 and collector 72 from there they are sent to rectification.

Fig. 31 shows a diagram of the preparation of triacetoxymethylsilane with acetic anhydride. The acetylation of methyltrichlorosilane can be carried out in reactor 6, a steel enameled cylindrical apparatus with an agitato-rand, a water vapour jacket and rectification tower 3 filled with Raschig rings. The reactor is loaded with necessary amounts of methyltrichlorosilane and acetic anhydride from the batch boxes, the agitator is switched on and the jacket is filled with vapour. The process ends with the complete distillation of the fraction which boils below 58 °C. The reactor is still filled with triacetoxymethylsilane with an impurity of unreacted acetic anhydride. The product is collected in receptacle 7.

Ammonia chloride is destroyed in reactor 5 immediately after the ammonolysis is finished. For this purpose, a 15% solution of NaOH is prepared in reactor 6. The agitator is switched on and the contents of reactor 6 are agitated until sodium hydroxide dissolves completely. The alkali solution prepared in this way is sent through batch box 4 into reactor 5, and the contents are mixed for 5-10 minutes. The reactive mixture is held for about an hour and sampled to determine the ammonia chloride destruction shown by the absence of NH4C1 in the aqueous layer. The lower layer, the aqueous NaCl solution, is poured into settling box 9, the top layer, the hexame-thyldisiloxane solution of hexamethyldisilazane, is poured through a rundown box into collector 10 and then in druck filter 11, which operates below 0.07 MPa. The filtrate is collected into collector 12, from where it is sent into tank 13 for rectification. The tank is heated with vapour (up to 1 MPa). 

Fraction I, hexamethyldisiloxane (the boiling point is 99.5 °C) is separated into receptacle 18, when the temperature in the higher part of the tower does not exceed 119 °C (the temperature in the tank does not exceed 130 °C). The distilled hexamethyldisiloxane is sent again into batch box 3 to be used in ammonolysis. Fraction II (intermediate) is separated into receptacle 19, when the temperature in the higher part of the tower does not exceed 122 °C (the temperature in the tank does not exceed 130 °C). The intermediate fraction from receptacle 19 is sent again into tank 13 for rectification.

Out of collector 13 the base salve solution of trimethylborate is sent into tank 16, where at 200 °C trimethylborate is distilled. The distilled fraction, which contains 88-90% of trimethylborate, is collected into collector 6 and sent into the tank of rectification tower 7 the base salve from tank 16 is sent through container 17 back into batch box 5. During rectification all methyl alcohol is separated in the form of azeotropic mixture with trimethylborate and collected in collector 19 trimethylborate remains in the tower tank. The azeotropic mixture is sent through collector 11 for repeated extraction into tower 12 the ready product, 98.5-99.5% trimethylborate, is sent from the tank of tower 7 into collector 18.
