crystalization of amines in industry

kamilk - 21-8-2011 at 17:36

I have been doing some research on different types of industrial process. One Process I'm having trouble finding literature on is a scaled up process of Hcl gassing and then separation of the precipitate which has formed.

I know of using filters but this seems like a very slow process, gassing then filtering the gasing.......

I was thinking of centrifugation but couldnt find anything on it.

Vacuum filtration, maybe. Much faster than gravity filtration.

Yes that would speed the filtration process up, but it would still remain as a batch process system. I was thinking is there anything that would be a steady constant process.

Possibly something like this?

hydrocyclone

Just guessing...
