Random column packing, the Glossary

Random column packing is the practice of packing a distillation column with randomly fitting filtration material in order to optimize surface area over which reactants can interact while minimizing the complexity of construction of such columns.^[1]

Carbon dioxide scrubber

A carbon dioxide scrubber is a piece of equipment that absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2).

See Random column packing and Carbon dioxide scrubber

Coke (fuel)

Coke is a grey, hard, and porous coal-based fuel with a high carbon content.

See Random column packing and Coke (fuel)

Countercurrent exchange

Countercurrent exchange is a mechanism occurring in nature and mimicked in industry and engineering, in which there is a crossover of some property, usually heat or some chemical, between two flowing bodies flowing in opposite directions to each other. Random column packing and Countercurrent exchange are chemical process engineering.

See Random column packing and Countercurrent exchange

Distillation

Distillation, also classical distillation, is the process of separating the component substances of a liquid mixture of two or more chemically discrete substances; the separation process is realized by way of the selective boiling of the mixture and the condensation of the vapors in a still.

See Random column packing and Distillation

Dixon rings

Dixon rings are a form of random packing used in chemical processing.

See Random column packing and Dixon rings

Fractionating column

A fractionating column or fractional column is equipment used in the distillation of liquid mixtures to separate the mixture into its component parts, or fractions, based on their differences in volatility.

See Random column packing and Fractionating column

Kraków

(), also spelled as Cracow or Krakow, is the second-largest and one of the oldest cities in Poland.

See Random column packing and Kraków

Liquid–liquid extraction, also known as solvent extraction and partitioning, is a method to separate compounds or metal complexes, based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids, usually water (polar) and an organic solvent (non-polar).

See Random column packing and Liquid–liquid extraction

Mass transfer

Mass transfer is the net movement of mass from one location (usually meaning stream, phase, fraction, or component) to another.

See Random column packing and Mass transfer

Mond Nickel Company

The Mond Nickel Company Limited was a United Kingdom-based mining company, formed on September 20, 1900, licensed in Canada to carry on business in the province of Ontario, from October 16, 1900.

Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook

Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook (also known as Perry's Handbook, Perry's, or The Chemical Engineer's Bible) was first published in 1934 and the most current ninth edition was published in July 2018.

Pressure drop

Pressure drop (often abbreviated as "dP" or "ΔP") is defined as the difference in total pressure between two points of a fluid carrying network.

See Random column packing and Pressure drop

Pumice

Pumice, called pumicite in its powdered or dust form, is a volcanic rock that consists of extremely vesicular rough-textured volcanic glass, which may or may not contain crystals.

See Random column packing and Pumice

Raschig ring

A Raschig ring is a piece of tube, approximately equal in length and diameter, used in large numbers as a packed bed within columns for distillations and other chemical engineering processes.

See Random column packing and Raschig ring

Reaction rate

The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.

See Random column packing and Reaction rate

Reagent

In chemistry, a reagent or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs.

See Random column packing and Reagent

Specific surface area

Specific surface area (SSA) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, (with units of m2/kg or m2/g).

See Random column packing and Specific surface area

Stainless steel

Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion.
