Sieve Plate Distillation PDF
Sieve Plate Distillation PDF
To determine the overall efficiency of the sieve plate distillation column and to calculate number of
plates using experimental data.
APPARATUS:-
THEORY:-
Distillation is a separation process in which a new phase is generated by heating the mixture. The
difference in relative volatility of components is exploited in the process. In our case relative volatility of
Iso-propanol is more than propane-1-ol. In sieve tray distillation mixture is fed to the bottom of the
column and heated through hot oil. The vapour is passed through plates and liquid is been fed from top
of the column as a reflux.
LAB SETUP:-
Due to sieves and the liquid hold up over plates there is bubbling of heated vapor phase through
liquid phase providing contact area for the mass transfer.
