Seeking advice on the section height of distillation column towers
Thread Content
I would like to ask: for a 2000L distillation tower used to distill 60% dichloromethane, so that the concentration of dichloromethane in the output product is 90%, what height is required for the tower?
Dichloromethane has a low boiling point, so it should be distilled off under normal pressure; the higher the tower height, the greater the purity of the dichloromethane
The height of our company’s workshop is only 9 meters, and the tallest sections of the tower that can be constructed are 6 meters high. I’m not sure whether a 6-meter-tall tower would be suitable in this case
If it has already been installed, trial production can be carried out to check the purity of dichloromethane. If the required purity is achieved, that’s fine; if not, measures should be taken to improve it or replace the filler with one that has a larger specific surface area
A hypergravity distiller can be used; the height is more than sufficient:lol
