 Original Title: Difference between Short-path Distillation and Molecular Distillation-Shanghai DEA Short-path distillation, "short path" refers to a shorter distance, in a broad sense, the evaporator adopts the design scheme that the distance from the evaporation surface to the condensation surface is less than 300 MM, which can be called a short-path distiller. In terms of design structure, it can be divided into scraper short-path distiller, centrifugal short-path distiller and short-path distillers evolved from the condenser installation position of film evaporator improved by some manufacturers in recent years.  tubes and discharged through the discharge tube at the bottom of the evaporator; the residual liquid, namely the heavy components, is collected in the circular channel under the heating area and then flows out through the discharge tube at the side. Molecular distillation, more precisely, the principle of molecular distillation, wiped film distillation ,molecular distillation systems, is different from the traditional distillation which relies on the principle of boiling point difference separation, but relies on the difference of mean free path of molecular motion of different substances to achieve separation. In the distillation process, when a liquid mixture flows along a heating plate and is heated under a certain specific pressure condition, light and heavy molecules can escape from the liquid surface and enter a gas phase, and because the free paths of the light and heavy molecules are different, the molecules of different substances have different moving distances after escaping from the liquid surface, If a condensation plate can be properly set (the distance between the evaporation area and the condensation surface is generally less than 100mm), the light molecules will be condensed and discharged when they reach the condensation plate, while the heavy molecules will be discharged along the mixed liquid when they do not reach the condensation plate. In this way, the purpose of material separation is achieved. Expand the full text Attention should be paid to "specific pressure conditions" and "evaporation surface and condensation surface distance" from the description of the distillation process. That is to say, not all raw materials can realize molecular distillation; the molecular distillation process can only be realized in a scraper type short-path distiller or a centrifugal type short-path distiller; the molecular distillation is not simply distillation in the short-distance distiller, but molecular distillation, and molecular distillation must be realized by realizing molecular-level motion and realizing a separation process at a specific pressure and a specific temperature. Therefore, it is wrong to simply confuse molecular distillation with short-path distillation, and their essence is different. Features of Shanghai DEA's scraper short-path distiller: Extremely high vacuum: Superior efficiency of mass transfer and heat transfer: DEA short-path distillation uses a mechanical film wiping system,rotovap distillation, which is different from the uneven film formation defects of other falling film evaporators. In the short-path evaporator, the material film thickness is uniform and the flow characteristics are excellent. Because the area of the liquid level and the heating surface is almost equal, the efficiency of mass transfer and heat transfer is superior.
