Mixture of low
relative volatility is
separated by
extractive
distilation. The 3rd
party solvent
added interact wid
all components of
mixture thus alter
relative volatility
and make
separation easier.
Solvent selection
is important.

Answer / dinesh patil

Some of the Liquid componets (suppose A & B) are difficult
to seperate under normal tempreture & pressure or due to
low boiling point difference (when the mixture is
Azotropic) So requirment of extractive distillation raise.

In extractive distillation solvent component (Suppose C)is
added in such a way that it preferably extract only one of
component among A or B and after ward distillation
operation can be done.

Answer / ravi

Extractive distillation is defined as distillation in the
presence of a miscible, high boiling, relatively
non-volatile component, the solvent, that forms no azeotrope
with the other components in the mixture.

Answer / muthukumar

when feed supplied goes to reboiler section we call it as
extractive distillation and here the third component is known
as solvent

Answer / muthukumar

Extractive distillation is one where the excess feed goes to
Re-boiler section.

Answer / rajesh kumar bhagat

In this we add a entrainer, who alter the relative volatality
of one component(minor component)of azeotropic mixture and we
distilled that component out. and major component with
entrainer will be the bottom product.

ENGINEERING PHYSICS - EXAMPLE 30.2 : The Planck-Einstein relation connects the particulate photon energy E with its associated wave frequency f to produce E = hf. Let h to be the Planck constant. The frequency f, wavelength L and speed of light c are related by E = hc / L. With p denoting the linear momentum of a particle, the de Broglie wavelength L of the particle is given by L = h / p. (a) Find the equation of E as a function of p and c. (b) If E has a unit of electron-volt and f has a unit of 1 / second, then what is the unit of h?
