Separating water, ethanol, and isobutanol using a distillation tower at normal temperature and pressure
Thread Content
When separating water, ethanol, and isobutanol using a distillation tower under normal temperature and pressure, should a plate tower or a packed tower be chosen? Could you explain this in detail?
I need to participate in a chemical engineering design competition, and I’ve found some materials related to floating valve towers, including various calculations. I hope someone experienced can provide me with CAD design drawings of floating valve towers
All of these should work; the plate type and the packing are just different in form, but they both use the same separation principle!
The operating pressure is not high, so a packed tower is a better choice
