Abstract Scope |
The effect of the number of bulbs on the contact time for distillation of ethanol was studied. Ten type “As” (A1 to A10) and type “Bs” (B1 to B10) Allihn condensers were designed consisting of inner tube θ9/556mm, outer tube θ40/600mm, outlets and inlets θ9/1.5mm and bulbs θ26/50mm. Time for first drop, yield, boiling point and density of the distillate were the parameters considered. 750ml of ethanol was distilled for 1hr. Results showed an average yield of 412.70ml for types “As” Allihn condensers and 391.80ml for type “Bs” Allihn condensers. Type A4 (492ml) gave the highest yield but took the longest time to start distilling. These results showed that type “As” Allihn condensers are more efficient at distilling than type “Bs”. Type “As” Allihn condensers are therefore suitable for distillation of ethanol. |
