MULTI-COMPONENT MIXTURE SEPARATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240299859 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 into an aqueous phase and an oil phase, with a portion of the separated phases refluxed back to the first section.
- The system includes a chimney tray in the upper portion of the first section for efficient separation of components.
- The feed stream to the first section contains three or more components, allowing for the separation of high-boiling point components to the lower portion.
- Gaseous components move to the second section for further processing.
Potential Applications: - Chemical industry for separating complex mixtures. - Petroleum industry for refining processes. - Pharmaceutical industry for purification of compounds.
Problems Solved: - Efficient separation of multi-component mixtures. - Recovery of valuable components. - Reduction of waste in industrial processes.
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in separation processes. - Improved purity of separated components. - Cost savings through recycling of separated phases.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Multi-Component Mixture Separation System for Industrial Processes This technology can be used in various industries such as chemical, petroleum, and pharmaceutical for efficient separation of complex mixtures, leading to cost savings and improved product quality.
Questions about Multi-Component Mixture Separation System: 1. How does the chimney tray in the first section contribute to the efficiency of the separation process? The chimney tray in the first section helps in enhancing the separation efficiency by providing more surface area for the components to interact, leading to better separation of the mixture.
2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using this multi-component mixture separation system? This system can help in reducing waste generation by efficiently separating components, leading to a more sustainable industrial process.
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.
