Continuous Distillation Experiment with Rotating Packed Bed

The performance of a rotating packed bed （RPter solutioB） with three kinds of packings was investigated using alcohol/wan under continuous distillation conditions at atmospheric pressure. The effects of average high gravity factor （β）, reflux ratio （R）, and feedstock flux （F） on mass-transfer in distillation were examined separately. Experimental results indicated that the total number of theoretical units （NTU） of RPB increased with β, R, and F.Of the three kinds of packings, the wave thread packing of stainless steel （Packing-Ⅲ）-had the best mass transfer efficiency with the height equivalent of a theoretical plate （HETP） of approximately 7.35 mm- 23.58 ram, whereas the corrugated disk pacing of stainless steel,（Packing Ⅰ） had the worst one with the HETP of about 13.4 mm-48.07 mm.Correlations were cleveloped to describe the mass transfer efficiency for packings Comparing.experimental data with the data calculated by correlation, the average deviate obtained for each packing was 0.72%, 1.98%, and 2.7%, respectively, implying that the accuracy of correlations developed was reasonable.

精馏过程中转子对旋转填料床传质性能的影响

以甲醇水溶液为介质,在全回流、常压操作条件下,对3种转子的旋转填料床进行精馏实验。结果表明旋转填料床的理论塔板数随超重力因子、气相动能因子和回流量的增大出现峰值,等板高度最小为95mm。转子Ⅲ的传质效率高于转子Ⅰ,低于转子Ⅱ。在实验基础上应用最小二乘法建立了转子Ⅰ的传质关联式。
