Modeling of Mixture Separation in a Column with Structured Packing. Effects of Liquid Maldistribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION. What is the effect of maldistribution on the mass transfer efficiency of a distillation column containing structured packing?. The column of structured packing is considered to consist of a set of unit cells. Each pair of sheets gives a two-dimensional set of " elementary " cells:

Comaprison of Mass-Transfer Efficiencies of Scc and Structured Packing
In a previous paper, pressure drop, flooding and mass-transfer characteristics of a novel pilot-scale distillation column called spinning cone column (SCC) were presented. Here, we present the result of comparison of mass-transfer efficiencies of SCC and structured packing. Comparison of SCC and structured packing mass-transfer characteristics show that the gas and liquid-side height of transfe...
متن کاملSteady-State and Dynamic Simulations of Gas Absorption Column Using MATLAB and SIMULINK
Separation is one of the most important process in all the chemical industries and the gas absorption is the simplest example of separation process which is generally used for the absorption of dilute components from a gaseous mixture. In the present work, a dynamic system of mathematical equation (algebraic and differential) is modeled to predict the behavior of the absorption column using mat...
متن کاملIon Exchange Column Performance Model for Separation of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) in Elution Process
A mathematical model of sorption of Zirconium and Hafnium cations mixture and elution of these ions from a cation exchange resin bed is developed. Sulfuric acid is selected as the eluent for selective separation of Zr and Hf in a packed bed of Dowex cation exchange resin. The column model is a dispersed plug flow model,and assumed to consist of randomly packed synthetic and spherical resin ...
متن کاملEffect of the Initial Gas Maldistribution on the Pressure Drop of Structured Packings
This paper presents results of a comprehensive, large scale experimental study devoted to establishing the relation between the quality of initial gas (mal)distribution, as created by common liquid collecting devices used in redistribution sections of packed columns, and the hydraulics of a structured packing bed. Both dry and wet bed experiments were conducted with air/water system under ambie...
متن کاملModeling and Measurement of Macroscopic Flow Fields in Structured Packings
Corrugated structured packings feature strong preferential flow directions due to their structure of crossing triangular channels. This leads to good radial spreading but makes modelling a challenge. Detailed CFD calculations reflecting the exact packing structure are only feasible for small sections of packing. However, effects like large scale maldistribution and instabilities in the flow fie...
