Rectification vertical columns

D. Rectification in vertical wetted wall column with turbulent vapor flow, Johnstone and Pigford correlation =0.0.328(Wi) Wi P>vP 3000 < NL < 40,000, 0.5 < Ns. < 3 N=, v,.gi = gas velocity relative to R. liquid film = — in film -1 2 " [E] Use logarithmic mean driving force at two ends of column. Based on four systems with gas-side resistance only, = logarithmic mean partial pressure of nondiffusing species B in binary mixture. p = total pressure Modified form is used for structured packings (See Table 5-28-H). [Pg.607]

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. [Pg.202]

Distillation is an ancient unit operation, and has been widely practiced for thousands of years. Early applicetions used crude vaporization and condensation equipment, often for concentrating the alcoholic content of beverages, The first vertical columnar continuous distillation still was developed by Cellier-Blumenthal in France in 1813. Perrier introduced an early version of the bubble-cep tray in England in 1822, Packings were used as early as 1820 by a technologist named Clement who used glass balls in an alcohol still. Coffey developed the first sieve tray column in 1830. The first book on fundamentals of distillation was La Rectification de I alcohol by Ernest Sorel in 1893. [Pg.3]

The first vertical continuous distillation column was patented in France by Jean-Baptiste Cellier Blumenthal in 1813 for use in alcohol distilleries. The first modern book on the fundamentals of distillation, La Rectification de I alcool The Rectification of Alcohol), vins published by Ernest Sor el in 1894. The gas lights of Sherlock Holmes s London burned coal gas from the destructive distillation of coal. [Pg.512]

The separation of close boiling components in a mixture has been accomplished commercially by cascading several evaporations and condensations of such mixtures in a device known as a distillation or rectification column. There are two types of columns, namely, packed columns and plate columns. The former are vertical cylinders filled with a variety of packings that provide a large surface area per unit volume to promote maximum contact between the downward liquid flow and the upward vapor flow. Since this type of column can encounter poorer vapor-liquid contact than the plate column, it is only seldomly used in cryogenic separation systems. [Pg.307]
