Description & Specification
Multifunctional Extraction and Distillation Pilot Plant
Categories:
Chemical Engineering Lab Equipments
Technical Specifications
This last column can be used to recover the solvent used for the extraction, or separately for the study of distillation process. This plant consists of a liquid-liquid extraction column of glass with rotating discs installed aside a distillation column.
TRAINING PROGRAM
Distillation:
Recovery of the solvent used in the extraction
Distillation of different mixtures (water / ethanol, water /methanol, methanol / propanol, etc...) versus the variation
of the following operational parameters:
Automatic flow control by PID controller
Reboiler heating power
Feeding composition
Reflux ratio
Feeding flow rate
Flooding.
Extraction:
Determination of the number of transfer units
Mass balance
Height of a transfer unit
Extraction efficiency
Calculation of the number of theoretical stages
Calculation of mass transfer coefficient
Trend of concentrations along the column
Exercises on systems of 3 partially mixable components:
Acetic acid – ethyl acetate – water
Acetic acid – isopropyl ether – water
Acetic acid – toluene – water
Automatic control with PID controller.
