METHOD FOR CONCENTRATING, METHOD FOR CONCENTRATING AND SEPARATING, AND METHOD FOR CONCENTRATING AND RECOVERING GUEST MOLECULE OF CLATHRATE COMPOUND, AND METHOD FOR REGENERATING THE GUEST MOLECULE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for efficiently concentrating a guest molecule from a raw material solution.

SOLUTION: This method for concentrating the guest molecule of the clathrate compound is characterized by having a first process for producing the clathrate compound L1 on the outer surface of a heat exchanger 2 disposed in the solution L containing the host molecule of the clathrate compound as a solvent and the guest molecule as a solute and having a density different from that of the clathrate compound, thus growing into the massive product, a second process for fusing a part of the massive product from the outer surface of the heat exchanger 2 to release the un-fused portion of the massive product from the outer surface, and a third process for repeating the first process and the second process at least once more to unevenly distribute the un-fused portion in a specific region in the solution L on the basis of a density difference between the clathrate compound L1 and the solution L, thereby relatively enhancing the concentration of the guest molecule in the specific region.
