The point in which the droplets of liquid (solvent) are carried up with the gas in packed column. This hapens if the solvent flow is fixed & the gas flow is icreased.

What is loading and flooding point in packed column?

Flooding point is the point where the liquid overflows because of the high gas velocity coming from the bottom. Loading point is velocity at which absorption starts taking place.

What is flooding point?

In a packed or tray column where you have vapor flowing up and liquid flowing down, there is an upper limit to how fast the liquid can drain downwards. The point at which liquid cannot flow down as fast as it is coming into the column is the "flooding point". The actual flooding point is partly dependent on how fast the liquid can flow down with no vapor flowing upwards and the rate at which vapor is trying to flow upwards. Cross sections of the column occupied by vapor are not available for liquid flow - effectively reducing the cross-section for downward flow of the liquid. You also get entrainment of liquid in the upward flowing vapor and drag on the liquid as it fights the direction of the vapor flow - the vapor wants to go up while the liquid wants to go down. This additional drag also slows down the flow of liquid trying to drain downward in the column. There is an analogous condition for two-phase liquid/liquid extraction columns.

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.

What is a column plate number?

It is the efficiency of the column. The larger the number, the more theoretical plates the column possesses; a typical well-packed column with a 5-micrometer particle size porous packing in a 15cm x 46 mm column should provide10,000-20,000 plates. sorry. I forgot to put a point in there. It should be 4.5 mm, not 45


How do you know if it is a load bearing wall?

A wall without column structure. The wall itself support the loading from the upper floor. In conventional structure, the column support the loading from the upper beam and transfer it to the lower beam.

Difference between tray and packed columns?

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.

What problems may arise in the use from a poorly packed liquid chromatography column?

The effect of packing a chromatographic column unevenly will cause the flow to be uneven down the column and lead to poor separation.
