FRACTIONATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Fractionation method and apparatus in which an angular velocity is imparted to a vapor to form a rotating vapor stream and liquid droplets are introduced into the rotating stream to provide a centrifugal force to impel the droplets in a path through the stream, the path being of a length to attain vapor-liquid equilibrium. The liquid droplets are collected by impingement. High mass transfer and high flow rates are achieved.
