Low distillation temperature, molecular distillation operates at temperatures well below the boiling point. Separation can be achieved as long as there is a temperature difference, which is the essential difference between molecular distillation and conventional distillation.
2. The distillation vacuum is high, and the internal vacuum of the molecular distillation unit can reach a very high level. Typically, molecular distillation operates under very low pressure, thus preventing material oxidation and damage.
3. Distillate film is thin, with heat transfer.
4. Due to the short heating time of the material, the distance between the liquid surface being heated and the condensing surface is less than the average free path of light molecules. Therefore, the light molecules escaping from the liquid surface almost reach the condensing surface without collision. As a result, the heated material in distillation has a short heating time, typically staying at the distillation temperature for a few seconds to several tens of seconds, reducing the chance of material thermal decomposition.
High degree of separation, molecular distillation can separate conventional substances that are difficult to separate.
6. Free evaporation occurs at the surface of the liquid in molecular distillation, which takes place under low pressure. Since there is no dissolved air in the liquid, the entire liquid cannot be made to boil during the distillation process, and no bubbling occurs.
7. Non-toxic, harmless, pollution-free, and residue-free, yielding pure and safe products; with simple operational processes and minimal equipment. Molecular distillation technology can separate substances that are difficult to separate in conventional distillation.
8. Molecular distillation equipment is expensive, as it requires the system pressure to reach a high vacuum degree, demanding high material sealing standards. Additionally, the distance between the evaporation surface and condensation surface must be moderate, making the equipment difficult to process and manufacture.
9. The product consumes less energy due to the minimal heat loss during the entire separation process of molecular distillation, and because of the unique structural form of the molecular distillation unit, the internal pressure is low, and the internal resistance is much smaller than that of conventional distillation, thus significantly reducing energy consumption. From the above characteristics of molecular distillation technology, it is evident that it has the following distinct advantages over conventional distillation technology in practical industrial applications:
For the separation of high-boiling, thermally sensitive, and easily oxidizable materials, molecular distillation offers the *best separation method. This is because molecular distillation operates at temperatures far below the boiling point of the material, and the material's residence time is short.
(2) Molecular distillation is an effective method for removing substances from liquids, such as solvents and odors, which is particularly effective for desolventizing liquid after solvent extraction.
(3) Molecular distillation selectively vaporizes the desired product, removing other impurities, and can simultaneously separate two or more substances through multi-stage separation.
(4) The distillation process in molecular distillation is a physical process, thus it effectively protects the separated substances from contamination and damage.
