The performance of pulsed-pressure wetted-wall distillation columns

The main purpose of this work was to investigate the characteristics and operational performance of pulsed wetted-wall distillation columns at total reflux and using the binary system methylcyclohexane/toluene. The results of a detailed study on three concentric-tube, wetted-wall columns are given b...
