Disclosed is a process and an apparatus for the separation of liquid components having different boiling points (distillation). From a liquid outlet tap (3), liquid is taken from the liquid tank (1) to a liquid pump (12) which feeds the water to a bubble generator (13) that is feed with a carrier gas (15). The liquid taken from the out let (3) is reintroduced into the liquid tank (1) via a liquid inlet (2) with bubbles that have a diameter of 5-200 µm to increase the liquid-vapour interface area and allow rapid concentration of the more volatile component in the air space of the bubble thereby separating the components within the liquid phase itself. After said bubbles leave the liquid phase (7), the released vapour content of the bubbles are condensed (9) and collected (11) and the obtained liquid enriched in the more volatile component(s) is separated from the carrier gas (29). |
