Use of packed towers for distillation is generally limited to the____________________?
Correct answer: A. Small sizes
- A. Small sizes
- B. Multi-component distillation
- C. High pressure operation
- D. Vacuum distillation
Explanation
Packed columns provide a large contact area with relatively low pressure drop, but their practical use in distillation is generally confined to smaller column sizes. Large columns more commonly use trays because liquid distribution becomes difficult in packed beds.
