What is short path distillation setup?

Short-path distillation introduction

Short-path distillation setup is a distillation technique that involves the distillate travelling a short distance, often only a few centimeters, and is normally done at reduced pressure. A classic example would be a distillation involving the distillate travelling from one glass bulb to another, without the need for a condenser separating the two chambers. This technique is often used for compounds which are unstable at high temperatures or to purify small amounts of compound. The advantage is that the heating temperature can be considerably lower (at reduced pressure) than the boiling point of the liquid at standard pressure, and the distillate only has to travel a short distance before condensing. A short path ensures that little compound is lost on the sides of the apparatus(Quoted on Wikipedia). 

Short-path distillation application

Separation and purification of food, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, electronic materials, plastic engineering and polymers (such as polyols, fatty acids, polyphenols, polyurethanes, epoxies, lactic acid, monoglycerides, flavors, heavy oils and paraffin oils) Wait.

The characteristics of the short-path distillation unit can be used to find out why people like to use it to extract cannabis (CBD) oil. The short-path distillation system has small volume, short distance, high evaporation rate, high recovery rate and corrosion resistance. The advantage of time.

Characteristics and principles of short-path distillation

1. The operating temperature is much lower than the boiling point of the material to treat heat sensitive materials, bio-acid fat, high-boiling substances, and materials that are difficult to distill have great advantages.
2. The heating time is extremely short. Ordinary distillation requires a process of several hours of heat, which can be completed in a few tens of seconds on short-distance distillation, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and is conducive to maintaining material activity.
3. It belongs to the physical separation process to keep the material's natural state free from pollution. Widely used in deodorization, decolorization and purification of high value-added materials.

Short-path distillation notes:

1. No load is not suitable for high speed operation;
2. Keep the speed regulation and the motor dry, because the life of the electrical box has a great influence on the surrounding humidity and temperature;
3. The ground wire must be well grounded, and the high temperature bath must be connected to the open switch;
4. There may still be electric shock within 5 minutes after the power is turned off, due to the discharge of the inverter or capacitor;
5. Please avoid damage to the glass caused by hard objects such as watches and rings when operating the instrument;
6. When the glass reactor needs heating, it should be gradually heated. Especially when heating at high temperature, it is generally recommended to use heat-conducting oil with little damage to the human body.
