Analysis of the reason why the concentration at the top of the distillation column with a partial reflux ratio is still higher than that in a full-reflux column
Thread Content
The full reflux value is 89%, while the partial reflux value is 92% – why is that?
OP, a distillation tower is a system; please provide relevant background information: composition of the material being processed, operating conditions, etc
Can the output be the same? It’s impossible to compare when the yields are different
You’ve provided too little information; it’s impossible to analyze it: lol
Under normal steady-state conditions, it’s really hard to explain
More system information is needed, such as the materials being processed, operating conditions, yield, etc.
Is it a newly installed system or the original one?
The background of the problem is not clearly explained. Is this the result of actual production, experimentation, simulation, or calculation? There is also information on the extraction volume
It’s the result of an experiment; generally, distillation is used for ethanol and water – it’s the outcome of a experimental procedure. Thank you all for your comments; I’ll go look for the data again
It is recommended that the relevant parameters be provided in order to conduct further analysis:
