Industrial Separation Research a) Identify a mixture that is separated industrially: Olive oil b) Identify which ‘sphere’ it is obtained from: Biosphere c) Identify the industrial separation processes used on this mixture: Crushing/grinding: The olive fruit is crushed and ground by a metal hammer in a mill to make a paste. Beating: The olive fruit paste is added to water is additionally beaten to extract more oil from the olive cells. Salt can be used to assist osmotic breakdown [of the cells]

this separation in crude oil is known as fractional distillation. Fractional distillation is carried out by heating the petroleum to 400 °C. As every hydrocarbon in petroleum has it a particular boiling point‚ by doing so‚ they will separate out and then be collected. The portion that remains thick at 400 °C falls to the bottom of the tower is removed and forms bitumen or asphalt. The mixture of vapours that enters the fractional distillation tower starts to condense as the temperature cools the

The Fermentation and Distillation of Alcohol By Bhanupriya Chettiar 301 Group Members: Bhanupriya Chettiar‚ Rachel Min‚ Zoe Chandler‚ Bianca Main Aim The aim of the practical is to prepare ethanol by fermentation and to isolate it by fractional distillation. Introduction This practical’s aim is to prepare ethanol using two steps; fermentation and then fractional distillation. Many alcoholic drinks for example‚ brandy and whisky‚ are prepared using this method but to a larger scale. The first

phosphoric acid‚ and one boiling chip‚ were all added to a 10 mL round bottom flask that would be attached to the end of an assembled simple distillation set up. A sand bath was placed atop a hot plate‚ and the simple distillation mechanism was lowered into the sand bath with the bottom most piece (the 10 mL round bottom flask) submerged about half way. The distillation process was completed after a sufficient amount of liquid distillate had accumulated within the Hickman Still Head. Smaller volumes were

Solution to Tutorial 4 Given: F = 1000 kg-mole/hr‚ xF = 0.20 (ethanol is MVC) Feed is saturated liquid‚ thus q = 1.0 xD = 0.80‚ xB = 0.02 (maximum); R = 5/3 First‚ plot the equilibrium curve using the VLE data given. Note that you need to convert mole% ethanol into mole fraction. Then‚ apply the McCabe-Thiele method to find the number of theoretical (equilibrium) trays required for the separation. Step 1: Since R and xD are known (5/3‚ and 0.80 respectively)‚ plot the ROL equation - it
Premium Distillation
Distillation is one of the most common separation techniques used in laboratories or industries where liquid chemicals are separated based on their volatilities. Distillation is usually done by vaporizing the liquid mixture in one vessel and condensing the vapors into another. The liquid mixture being distilled is called distilland and the resulting liquid is called distillate. In laboratories‚ there are several types of distillation used according to the needs such as simple distillation which involves
