- 2. Scope of Distillation Itis no secret that the subject matter of distillation is solely located in the domain of the chemical engineer. In many ways, it is a topic which separates chemical engineering from other engineering and applied science disciplines.
- 3. • Distillation maybe defined as the separation of the components of a liquid feed mixture by a process involving partial vaporization through the application of heat. • In general, the vapor evolved is recovered in liquid form by condensation. • The more volatile (lighter) components of the liquid mixture are obtained in the vapor discharge at a higher concentration. • The extent of the separation is governed by two important factors: the properties of the components involved and by the physical arrangement of the unit used for distillation.

- 5. Flash Distillation • Theseparation of a volatile component from a liquid process can be achieved by means of flash distillation. • This operation is referred to as a “flash” since the more volatile component of a saturated liquid mixture rapidly vaporizes upon entering a tank or drum which is at a lower pressure and/or higher temperature than the incoming feed.

- 7. Batch Distillation • Althoughbatch distillations are generally more costly than their continuous counterparts, there are certain applications in which batch distillation is the method of choice. • Batch distillation is typically chosen when it is not possible to run a continuous process due to limiting process constraints, the need to distill other process streams, or because the low frequency use of distillation does not warrant a unit devoted solely to a specific product.

- 9. CONTINUOUS DISTILLATION WITHREFLUX • In a continuous distillation column, Vapor flows up the column and liquid flows countercurrently down the column. For the subsequent discussion regarding continuous distillation, a binary (2-component) feed will be assumed. • In the case of a binary feed, the more volatile (lower boiling) component will be referred to as the light component, whereas the less volatile (higher boiling) component is referred to as the heavy component.

- 11. CONTINUOUS DISTILLATION WITHREFLUX • As is standard practice in binary distillation, all mole fractions (i.e., xD, xB, xF) will be representative of the light component only. • Reflux ratio: The molar flow ratio of reflux returned to distillate product collected is defined in this text as the reflux ratio, R. • Stripping Section: The portion of the column below the feed tray (and including the feed tray itself) is known as the stripping section. • Rectification section :Upon reaching the top of the stripping section, the rising vapor enters the portion of the column above the feed tray, referred to as the rectification section.
