Molecular Distillation equipment

Molecular distillation technology is an advanced liquid-liquid separation technology developed in recent decades. In the following, we make a comprehensive review of molecular distillation technology from its principle characteristics, device structure type, industrial application and research status.

Distillation is one of the most basic methods to achieve separation, which can achieve the separation of solid and liquid or liquid and liquid mixture.In the process of conventional distillation, simple distillation can be used for the relatively easy separation or the separation requirements are not high; for the temperature-insensitive and moderately difficult separation, the distillation or special distillation can be used;For the separation or concentration of thermal sensitivity, high boiling point, and high viscosity substances, the heating temperature and residence time are two decisive factors that affect its thermal decomposition (thermal polymerization);

The study found that the degree of thermal decomposition of the substance has an exponential relationship with the heating temperature and is proportional to the residence time in the heated zone.The boiling point of the substance decreases as the external pressure decreases; therefore, the operating temperature of the material can be reduced by reducing the distillation operating pressure, so-called vacuum distillation (decompression distillation).However, due to the static pressure difference generated by a large amount of liquid in the distillation unit and the pipe effect between the distillation unit and the condenser, the pressure in the distillation unit is further prevented from decreasing.However, for substances with a high boiling point, thermal instability, high viscosity or easy explosion, it is not suitable to use ordinary vacuum distillation, so a new separation technology, molecular distillation technology, is also produced accordingly.
