How should “dried stream” be translated appropriately? Translate the whole sentence
Thread Content
A process for producing ethyl acetate is disclosed, which involves an additional step to remove a substantial amount of water from the condensed reaction stream, and to recycle portions of this dried stream back into the production process. As a supplementary note, the \"dried stream\" refers to a liquid; it is the organic layer on top after the water phase has been separated, which is rich in ethyl acetate.

After reading the original poster’s additional explanation, how about changing “dry materials” to “dehydrated materials”? Because earlier it was mentioned that a substantial amount of water needs to be removed --- FYI, this post was last edited by echommm on 2009-3-18 at 11:40 ]
Dry materials and dehydrated materials mean more or less the same thing; you can choose whichever one you think is more appropriate, but personally I think \"dehydrated\" is a better term
As mentioned earlier regarding removing water from..., it would be appropriate to translate \"dried stream\" as the material after dehydration treatment!
A process for producing ethyl acetate is disclosed, which involves using an additional step to remove a substantial amount of water from the condensed reaction stream, and recycling portions of this dried stream back into the production process. Based on Echo’s suggestions, it should be noted that the \"dried stream\" refers to the material after water has been removed; thus, water removal can be considered a drying process. This patent describes a process for manufacturing ethyl acetate, in which an additional step is employed to remove the large amount of water generated as a result of the condensation of the reaction materials, with some of the material resulting from this water removal being recycled back into the production process.

Thank you all~ Actually, everyone’s translations are quite good~ But personally, I think using “dried stream” to refer to this two-phase system of ester and water is a bit odd (maybe it’s just because it’s not commonly used). I plan to adopt dongping001’s translation of “the material after water removal”. (By the way, “condensed” should be translated as “condensed”; there’s no need for the term “concentrated” here.)

Condensed reaction – it seems to refer to a condensation reaction; so it’s probably the water produced by that condensation reaction. Esters must be formed through a condensation reaction between acids and alcohols, I’m not familiar with this process; it’s just a guess.
I’m not sure; I’ve seen people use the term “Condensation Reaction” for such reactions, but I’m not certain whether “condensed reaction” is an acceptable term as well. If a condensation reaction is used, isn’t it simpler to just use an esterification reaction?
Individuals tend to react by requiring steam to be involved; the excess steam then condenses, resulting in a substantial amount of water. Specifically, it depends on whether your patent or something similar describes what kind of reactions have occurred.
“Condensed” modifies “stream”, not “reaction”; in the production processes of the petrochemical industry, this term generally refers to “condensation”. Additionally, a condensation reaction is a reaction in which two or more organic molecules interact with each other to form a larger molecule through covalent bonds, while releasing water or other simpler inorganic or organic molecules. Similar reactions that occur within the molecule of polyfunctional compounds are known as intramolecular condensation reactions. Condensation reactions can be carried out through reaction pathways such as substitution, addition, and elimination. Most condensation reactions take place under the catalysis of a condensing agent, with common ones including bases, sodium alcohols, and inorganic acids. Sometimes two organic compound molecules interact to form a larger molecule without releasing simple molecules; this is also known as condensation. ......
