    Distillation Abstract This report outlines the steps taken to separate a 50:50 by volume ethanol and isopropanol side stream. The resulting separation must contain no more than 3% alcohol impurity in each product. A laboratory column, run at total reflux, was utilized to scale up to a forty foot high by one foot diameter column. The laboratory column allowed the team to determine vapor velocities and HETP values for the 0.24 inch Pro-Pakq packing. HETP is defined as the height of packing divided

  • Rum Essay

    662 Words  | 2 Pages

    Rum is prepared from cane juice and is a distilled alcoholic beverage made by a process of fermentation and distillation. Fruit, beetroot, or molasses can be used to make rum. The standards of rum vary from country to country, with some considered dark and strong, while others are light and white. The quantity of congeners, which gives the final product a harsh taste, determines the type of rum. White rum has very low congeners and comes in a crystal-clear color. Popular white rums include Bacardi

    A Humorous Distillation of Antigone by Maurice Sagoff This poem is quite successful in getting the plot across to the reader. Unfortunatly, that is all he can get across because of his beleif that, "inside every fat book is a skinny book trying to get out." Sargoff cannot have character descriptions, themes, or any real detail in his "skinny book" because of his beleifs. Sargoff leaves off why Polynices should not be burried and why his brother, who is not even menchoned, can be burried

    was a technique experiment in distillation, and its purpose was in the introduction of two types of distillation methods, although there are various other types. The main purpose of the lab was learning how to distinguish the appropriate time to use either of the distillation methods and learning how to interpret the analysis tools employed to determine the purity of a distillate. The first week of the unit separated acetone and ethanol via the fractional distillation method, while the second week

    raises the overall temperature of the liquid. Eventually, adding energy boosts the liquid’s vapor pressure until it equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure. When this occurs, the pure liquid boils at a temperature called the boiling point. Distillation uses the characteristic boiling points of pure liquids to separate these substances from a mixture. Once a pure liquid reaches its boiling point, it maintains this temperature as

    product is called "corn whiskey." Other ingredients are used such such as yeast, malt, and sugar, and vary according to the taste of the distiller (Logsdon, n.d.). Elaborate stills are set up to produce the liquor. Only two steps, fermentation and distillation, are involved in the production (Stewart, 2103). During the fermentation process, the starches in the grain or fruit are broken down through saccharification into sugars and then the sugars are broken down into alcohol. This process is sped up

    distilled by primitive means. The crude product obtained is further distilled to remove the oil of camphor present and obtain crystalline camphor (VanNostrand 1968). According to Dreamlink Limited of the United Kingdom, the oil is extracted by steam distillation from the pulverized wood, branches and stump and by condensing those vapors. There are three separate fractions of the camphor oil; white being the lightest, brown as the medium oil, and yellow being the heaviest oil. Each has the camphoraceous
