What is an enriching section in a distillation column?

It is the top section of the distillation column. The section where the vapour leaves the column to the condenser.


In distillation towers what does 'flooding velocity' means?

Generally: The flooding velocity of the column is the velocity of the vapor rising through the column at which the liquid on each stage is suspended. The flow of vapor up through the column will not allow the liquid to fall down through the column causing the stages to "flood".


How do you design distillation column?

Assuming you have binary components the McCabe Thiele Method should be used. Otherwise a process simulator such as Aspen, Pro/II, and/or KGTower should be used.


In what situation would you use fractional distillation over simple distillation?

You would use simple distillation when the two products you are trying to separate have large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is needed when the two products have very close boiling points (like Hexane and toluene). In petroleum refining, the word "fractionation", not "fractional distillation" is used, often interchangeably with "distillation". When we have a crude mixture of different compounds which have very minor difference in their boiling points and cannot be separated simple distillation, then fractional distillation is used. Differenciation of components of petroleum is done by this process


What should you do if your kerosene flash is increasing in the column?

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.

Can you write a C program to find the sum of a given column in a 2D array?

Use the following function to find the sum of a given column in an array of integers: int sum_column (int** array, unsigned int rows, unsigned int columns, unsigned int column) { assert (column<columns); int accumulator int row; accumulator = 0; for (row=0; row<rows; ++row) { accumulator += array[row][column]; } return accumulator; }

What is a fractionating column?

This is an installation used for separation by distillation.


When you use the direct distillation?

Distillation is used to separate liquids with different boiling points. A distillation column consists of let's say trays at different temperatures, and in these trays, the lighter and more volatile components evaporate, leaving the heavier component(s).

Would you that mixing gases is a reversible change?

It isn't easily reversible but, it is reversible. You can use a molecular sieve or a distillation column to separate them.


What is a batch distilation column?

This is a distillation column that doesn't have a continuous feed. The material that is to be distilled will typically be in a round bottom still at the end of the column.
