摘要:
A water-soluble organic material condensation apparatus equipped with a distillation column for distilling an aqueous solution of a water-soluble organic material, wherein a vapor generated at the top of the distillation column or a condensed liquid from the vapor is introduced to a device other than the distillation column which has the function to separate water from the water-soluble organic material to thereby condense the water-soluble organic material through separating water and then the condensed water-soluble organic material is recycled to the distillation column. The device other than the distillation column is desirably a separative film such as a zeolite film. The apparatus is improved in the operation of the upper portion of the condensation section of the distillation column and allows energy savings during distillation.
摘要:
A method for concentrating a water-soluble organic material wherein a mixture of the water-soluble organic material with water is distilled in a distillation column (11), and the fraction from the top (11a) of the distillation column (11) is separated by the use of a membrane separator (14) into a permeated vapor (F2) and a non-permeated vapor (F3), which comprises once condensing the fraction to form a condensate, heating the condensate in an evaporator (13) to generate a vapor (F1) having a pressure higher than the operation pressure for the distillation column (11), and introducing the vapor (F1) to the membrane separator (14), thereby separating water from the mixture.
摘要:
A method for the separation of components by which an acid component can partially be separated from a mixture comprising the acid component and water without deteriorating the properties of crystalline zeolite. Namely, a method for separating partially an organic acid component (such as acetic acid) from a mixture comprising the acid component and water by using crystalline zeolite, wherein when a vapor (16) of the mixture is brought into contact with crystalline zeolite (11), the vapor (16) is heated with a ribbon heater (13) to such a temperature as to inhibit the vapor (16) from capillary condensation.
摘要:
A multi-tube separation membrane module, comprising a plurality of tubular separation membrane element (3) having sealing ends and opening ends, outer tubes (13) surrounding the tubular separation membrane elements (3) at clearances and having first opening parts (131) on the sealing end sides of the tubular separation membrane elements (3) and second opening parts (133) near the opening ends of the tubular separation membrane elements, an inlet means (4a) communicating with the first opening parts (131) of the outer tubes (13), a first outlet means (4b) communicating with the opening ends of the tubular separation membrane elements (3), and a second outlet means (1) communicating with the second opening parts (133) of the outer tubes (13), characterized in that fluid (F1) flowing from the first opening parts (131) of the outer tubes through the inlet means (4a) flows through the clearances between the tubular separation membrane elements (3) and the outer tubes (13), a component (F2) separated from the fluid (F1) by the tubular separation membrane elements (3) flows out from the first outlet means (4b) through the opening ends of the tubular separation membrane elements (3), and a remaining fluid (F3) flows out from the second outlet means (1).
