Two-component distillation: the top product is not up to standard. How to solve this? I’d appreciate it if you all could help me, thank you!
Increase the number of trays to reduce evaporation volume
Let’s see what constitutes non-compliance – what is the required purity level for the product?
To explain in more detail, we need to know the specific operating conditions and circumstances; only then can everyone help you
In production, the reflux at the top of the tower is generally increased, while the steam entering the tower is reduced depending on the conditions at the bottom of the tower.
It depends on the specific situation. Increase the number of theoretical plates ； Add an azeotrope-forming agent ； decompression·······
Either increase the number of plates or raise energy consumption; the equipment can be modified, otherwise only recirculation and steam can be added
