Substances other than those involved in the separation design of the distillation tower
Thread Content
Could you all help us out? Our distillation tower is used to separate toluene and diols, but currently the toluene contains a small amount of water. Is it possible to use the tower to separate toluene from water first?
At atmospheric pressure, toluene has a boiling point of 110 degrees; using a distillation column to separate it is quite troublesome and costly. It might be possible to use some desiccant, after all, only a small amount of water is present
Yes, it’s possible to dry and remove water first, and then separate it
Drying equipment can be added before feeding into the distillation tower to absorb or separate water.
Well, everyone has given great suggestions; thank you very much. I was trying to find out what the effect would be on the separation efficiency of the distillation column if there is water in my system and I clean it with toluene before driving. Perhaps I didn’t explain myself clearly enough, which may have led to confusion among everyone; I’m sorry about that
I really need to study hard*; even after looking at it, I still don’t know what it is
