Answer / ibrahim khan

To catch fire, fire triangle's condition, i.e. Fuel, Ignition source, and Oxygen must come in contact. Hence it doesn't catch the fire.

Answer / rajesh kumar bhagat

Because, to catch fire oxygen is necessary and column works
with no presence of oxygen and air.

Answer / prashant chalke

fractionating columns at these high temperature are mostly
operated at low pressure or in vacuum hence there is no
chances of taking fire.

Answer / वै&#23

(This answer is purely based on my thermodynamics knowledge i gained till now)
Fire can only be produced in case of a combustion reaction.
And it can take place only if their is any free radical or unstable compound which can react with oxygen. It does not depend on temperature at all. So as fractionating column contains a mixture of two stable compouds, their is no chance of catching fire in the column, what so ever be the temperature.

Answer / rajeshkannan

in order to catch fire for any material it must reach its
auto ignition temperature

BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.4 : The resolution of separation, Rs for chromatography is given by the formula Rs = (difference in retention time) / (average width at the base). In a chromatogram, 3 peaks a, b and c are found. Average widths W at the bases of the solutes are : Wa = 20 s, Wb = 40 s, Wc = 30 s. Resolutions of separation, Rs for solutes b and c in comparison to a are 2 and 4 respectively. The differences in retention times T for b and c in comparison to a are (Tb - Ta) and (Tc - Ta), Ta = Tc - Tb : (a) Form 2 equations involving Rs as a function of Wa, Wb, Wc, Ta, Tb and Tc. (b) Find the values of Ta, Tb and Tc.
