ekstraktiotislausta
Ekstraktiotislausta, sometimes referred to as extractive distillation in English, is a chemical engineering process used to separate components of a mixture that have very close boiling points or form azeotropes. This technique combines distillation and liquid-liquid extraction into a single unit operation.
The core principle of ekstraktiotislausta involves introducing a third component, known as an entrainer or solvent,
In a typical setup, the feed mixture is introduced into the middle section of the distillation column.
The entrainer is then separated from the desired product in a subsequent distillation step, and it is
