2. Kugelrohr - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelrohr

   "Short path" refers to the short distance that the vapors of the distillate need to travel, which helps reduce loss and speed up collection of the distillate.This type of distillation is generally performed under vacuum to prevent the compound from charring due to atmospheric oxygen, as well as to allow the distillation to proceed at a lower temperature.

3. Dean–Stark apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean–Stark_apparatus

   A common example is the removal of water generated during a reaction in boiling toluene. An azeotropic mixture of toluene and water distills out of the reaction, but only the toluene (density 0.865 g/ml) returns, since it floats on top of the water (density 0.998 g/ml), which collects in the trap. Some high-boiling liquids that have an ...

4. Vacuum distillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_distillation

   Vacuum distillation can also be referred to as "low-temperature distillation". [citation needed] In distilling the crude oil, it is important not to subject the crude oil to temperatures above 370 to 380 °C because high molecular weight components in the crude oil will undergo thermal cracking and form petroleum coke at temperatures above that.

5. BTX (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTX_(chemistry)

   In the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries, the initialism BTX refers to mixtures of benzene, toluene, and the three xylene isomers, all of which are aromatic hydrocarbons. The xylene isomers are distinguished by the designations ortho – (or o –), meta – (or m –), and para – (or p –) as indicated in the adjacent diagram.

6. Fractionating column - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionating_column

   In industrial uses, sometimes a packing material is used in the column instead of trays, especially when low pressure drops across the column are required, as when operating under vacuum. This packing material can either be random dumped packing (1–3 in or 2.5–7.6 cm wide) such as Raschig rings or structured sheet metal .

7. Short-path distillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-path_distillation

   Short-path distillation is a distillation technique that involves the distillate traveling a short distance, often only a few centimeters, and is normally done at reduced pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Short-path distillation systems often have a variety of names depending on the manufacturer of the system and what compounds are being distilled within them.
