Micro/Semi-Micro Distillation

Description

Concentric Tube Columns
This column type can be used to solve every distillation problem under atmospheric or reduced pressure condition. At the same time it is most dedicated for the discontinous distillation of very small quantities of thermally sensitive components with molecular weights from 200 up to 2000, like fatty alcohols higher fatty acids, olfactory products, resins as well as animal and vegetable fats and oils. These products can be separated by distillation without being decomposed by operation under reduced pressures.
The high separation efficiency of the concentric tube column is related to the physical principle of the mass transfer between the vertically rising vapour and the spirally trickling film of liquid in a concentric annular gap made of glass. The column consists of two concentrically melted, calibrated glass tubes and is an all-glass-construction.
