Have you heard of a hypergravity rotating bed?

Supergravity rotating bed – When I was in school, a teacher conducted research in this area, but it remained at the experimental stage; the technology was not yet mature and its use had limitations. . . I’m quite optimistic about this thing; it has a promising future. I wonder if it’s already been industrialized Looking forward to a strong answer
I’ve never heard of this thing. What is it used for?
Reply to 2# hgz_0714: It is used as a substitute for distillation columns; I’ve heard that in laboratories it is used to separate ethanol from water in order to produce high-purity alcohol
Applications in some areas have already been industrialized. Zhejiang University of Technology has done well in the industrial application of hypergravity distillation technology; Beihua University is the best in China in this field. The use of hypergravity technology for the production of nanopowders has also been industrialized. If you’re interested, you can look up information on hypergravity online – there’s a lot available
The supergravity rotating bed is an emerging gas-liquid mass transfer device that significantly enhances both the mass transfer process and the micro-mixing process. Numerous experimental studies have been conducted on it, and it possesses unique advantages over conventional tower equipment. However, it also has inherent drawbacks, mainly in terms of mechanical operation complexity and limited processing capacity, which prevents its use in large-scale, long-term industrial applications; it is primarily used in areas such as fine chemical manufacturing or the synthesis of catalysts and materials. In my opinion, the future development trends of supergravity rotating beds will involve lighter rotors, multiple rotors connected in series, larger rotor diameters, non-electric drive methods, and additional functional enhancements. The goal is to achieve a better balance among various performance aspects, or to optimize them for use in different applications.
Supergravity desulfurization has also been industrialized http://www.higeetech.com/case.asp?cid=49&conid=203
This device also presents difficulties when used to handle highly corrosive substances, as there are too many moving parts and it is hard to provide corrosion protection; therefore, it is often used for removing solvents such as methanol, water, and DMF； Furthermore, if the output is high, it is not as economical as a tower.
It has the advantage of taking up little space and is easy to operate. Our processing capacity isn’t very large, but it’s sufficient for our own production needs
Looking at these two companies, one is from Beijiang University of Chemical Technology and its product is mainly used for desulfurization； One is North University of China; it is said that it can produce nanomaterials
Small industrial units are fine, but they lack operational flexibility； Large industrial installations won’t work. It can be used for solvent recovery in fine chemical plants. It can still be pretty good
