Open tubular columns provide greater resolution than packed columns in gas chromatography because of their large retention time.
Conditions favouring tray columns:- variable liquid and/or vapour loads- low liquid rates · large number of stages and/or diameter- high liquid residence time- dirty service (plate columns are easier to clean)- presence of thermal or mechanical stress due to large temperature changes which might lead to cracked packings- exotherms requiring cooling coils inside columnSource:http://www.separationprocesses.com/Operations/POT_Chp02h.htm
Nitrogen is usually used.
It is around 4000-6000 plates for a 2 meter column.
* large columns, specifically for packing. * analytical columns, for quantitative analysis, usually accompanied by a UV-vis detector. * Narrow bore columns, for more sensitive analysis * capillary columns, very this silica columns used almost exclusively with GC mass spectroscopy. * packed bed columns. with silica beads. and may have groups attached, e.g. C18.
Distillation is a common laboratory technique. It is used to separate mixtures with differing properties; the efficiency depends on the rate of heat exchange between the fluid being distilled and the coolant.Direct flow distillation: Suitable for mixtures, whose components have boiling points which differ by at least 25°C.Reverse flow distillation: The separation is successful for mixtures whose components have boiling points which differ by at least 0.5°C.Distillation Columns The diameter of the column defines the throughput and the acceptable pressure drop, while the height defines the distillate purity. Uncontrolled condensation on the column walls is reduced by insulation with silver coated vacuum jackets (10-6 mbar). The vacuum jacket has viewing strips.The column type and its packing also influence separation efficiency. Tapered glass items are available to US standards ASTM E676 Standard Column Types Packed Columns with Conical Ground Joints Packed columns can be fitted with different types of packing for various distillation requirements.Packed Columns with Conical & Spherical Joints Conical joint at the top and spherical joint at the bottom.Packed Columns with Spherical Ground JointsVigreux ColumnsVigreau Columns have a lower separating efficiency than packed columns with Rasching rings but can work with small volumes of fluid and produce low pressure losses.Vigreux Columns with Conical Ground JointsVigreux Columns with Conical and Spherical Ground JointConical joint at the top and spherical joint at the bottom.Vigreux Columns with Spherical Ground JointsBubble Cap Tray ColumnsBubble tray columns have high separating efficiencies, they are very suitable for analysis of processes that will be substantially scaled up.Bubble Cap Tray Columns with Conical JointsBubble Cap Tray Columns with Insulating Jacket
Packed column consist of porous substance as a packing in the column which provides contact between the fluids used,while different types of trays are used depending on the ease of separation instead of a packing in a usual tray column.
It is height equivalent to a theoretical plate(hetp).HETP is related to the height of packed columns provided to separate a mixture of volatile substances. in distillation the number of trays required for efficient separation is obtained by knowing the height of the packed column when it is done in packed bed reactors.. so HETP=height of the column/number of trays.
A packed fractional distillation column will be more effective at separating two closely boiling liquids than an empty one because you have more surfaces for condensation and revaporization of the liquid. A packed fractional distillation column has many more surfaces two allow the mixture of vapors to condense and distill again over and over to effectively separate.
