MULTI-COMPONENT MIXTURE SEPARATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18020873 titled 'MULTI-COMPONENT MIXTURE SEPARATION SYSTEM
The present disclosure describes a multi-component mixture separation system involving a distillation column with two sections separated by a partition wall, and a phase separator that separates a lower discharge stream of the second section into an aqueous phase and an oil phase, with a portion of the separated phases refluxed back to the first section. The first section includes a chimney tray on the upper portion and is fed with a feed stream containing three or more components to separate high-boiling point components to the lower portion, while gaseous components move to the second section.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a multi-component mixture separation system including a distillation column including a first section and a second section separated by a partition wall, and a phase separator receiving a lower discharge stream of the second section and separating the stream into an aqueous phase and an oil phase, and refluxing a portion of the separated aqueous phase or oil phase to the first section, in which the first section includes a chimney tray provided on an upper portion, and the first section is fed with a feed stream containing three or more components to separate high-boiling point component to a lower portion, and a gaseous component moves to the second section.
