Solvent Distillation Technology

What is the main purpose of solvent distillation technology?

• To generate new solvents

• To recover and reuse solvents from waste mixtures

• To burn solvents for energy

• To dilute solvents for use in production

Which physical property is most important for the separation of components during distillation?

• Density

• Boiling point

• Solubility

• Colour

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of solvent distillation?

• Reduces waste

• Reduces the cost of purchasing new solvents

• Increases hazardous waste disposal costs

• Helps companies comply with environmental regulations

What equipment is essential in a solvent distillation system?

• Heat exchanger, cooling tower, and filter

• Boiling flask, condenser, and collection flask

• Pump, motor, and vacuum chamber

• Reactor, separator, and agitator

In solvent distillation, what happens to the vapor after it leaves the distillation column?

• It is compressed and stored as a gas

• It is cooled and condensed back into a liquid

• It is burned as waste gas

• It is released into the environment

What is the result of successful solvent distillation?

• Disposal of hazardous waste

• Creation of new solvents

• Separation and purification of solvents for reuse

• Destruction of all solvent components

Which of the following is a major safety hazard associated with solvent distillation?

• Excessive noise

• Fire and explosion risk

• Low boiling points of solvents

• Lack of residue disposal

8. Which type of distillation is used to separate components with close boiling points?

• • Simple distillation

• • Fractional distillation

• • Vacuum distillation

• • Batch distillation

What is the main principle behind the process of distillation?

• Filtration through porous material

• Separation of liquids by differences in boiling points

• Extraction of solids from liquids

• Cooling liquids to form solids

What equipment is used to cool and condense vapor back into liquid?

• • Boiler

• Condenser

• Residue tank
