By flash, it is assumed you mean the amount flashed in the flash zone after entering a column. If the amount flashed is more than you desire, lower the feed temperature. If the feed is some amount of saturated liquid and vapor, you will want to increase the percentage of liquid fed to the column. This applies to a general distillation column with more flash than desired.

If this is a crude oil atmospheric distillation column, and you are getting too much kerosene in a side draw, your cut point probably does not meet the required specification. In this case you will need to adjust your pumparound rates and/or increase the amount of reflux.

What is the purpose of an alumina column?

Column chromatography is generally used as a purification technique: it isolates desired compounds from a mixture.Column chromatography is separated into two categories, depending on how the solvent flows down the column. If the solvent is allowed to flow down the column by gravity, or percolation, it is called gravity column chromatography. If the solvent is forced down the column by positive air pressure, it is called flash chromatography, a "state of the art" method currently used in organic chemistry research laboratories The term "flash chromatography" was coined by Professor W. Clark Still because it can be done in a "flash."


What is the difference between flash chromatography and column chromatography?

Column chromatography, is a broad term for all column chromatography methods, but is also synonomous with Gravity fed methods. Flash chromotography refers specifically to a column in which the eluant (or mobile phase) is moved through the column under pressure (using a hand pump for small scale, or a pressurised gas for a larger scale), the name Flash is derived from how much faster it is to run a column under pressure than via gravity.

What would cause the headlights on a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer to go to high beam when you pull back on the lever to flash but not when you push it forward to stay on high?

there are two switchs in the steering column meaning pull back it hits a switch to flash and when you push it forward there is another to make them stay on. sounds like you need to replace the switch should be as simple as removing the steering column cover.


Can diesel or biodiesel be burned in a kerosene space heater?

ANSWER:Normal diesel fuel should not be burned in a kerosene heater, because there are many more contaminants in it, such as sulfur. A 100% solution of Biodiesel will not work because it requires a much higher initial temperature (300F) to burn cleanly. Blends of these fuels with kerosene can be burned, but there may be problems with the fuel soaking up the wick properly in the case of Biodiesel, which can lead to wick burning and sooting. There may also be problems lighting and burning properly if the blend contains too much of the Biodiesel, as its flash point is higher than kerosene. Diesel/Biodiesel fuel can also be run in many forced air heaters along with kerosene.
