Distillation Columns

Distillation is a common laboratory technique. It is used to separate mixtures with differing properties; the efficiency depends on the rate of heat exchange between the fluid being distilled and the coolant.

Direct flow distillation: Suitable for mixtures, whose components have boiling points which differ by at least 25°C.

Reverse flow distillation: The separation is successful for mixtures whose components have boiling points which differ by at least 0.5°C.

Distillation Columns The diameter of the column defines the throughput and the acceptable pressure drop, while the height defines the distillate purity. Uncontrolled condensation on the column walls is reduced by insulation with silver coated vacuum jackets (10-6 mbar). The vacuum jacket has viewing strips.
The column type and its packing also influence separation efficiency.

Standard Column Types

Packed Columns with Conical Ground Joints Packed columns can be fitted with different types of packing for various distillation requirements.
Packed Columns with Conical & Spherical Joints Conical joint at the top and spherical joint at the bottom.

Packed Columns with Spherical Ground Joints

 

Vigreux Columns have a lower separating efficiency than packed columns with Rasching rings but can work with small volumes of fluid and produce low pressure losses.
