Hi,
I am working on a batch vacuum distillation process that separates methanol,water and an unknown ingredient sensitive to temperature that degrades above 35 deg celsius.
There are foaming and bumping problems especially severe after the contents have been transferred in the batch reactor and start pulling a vacuum to about 0.14mbarA.
How do I go about trying to reduce the bumping and foaming problems?
THe temperature is jacket controlled and it fluctuates severely during the bumping. I am not sure if the bumping causes it or it causes the bumping. Does anyone know more about vacuum distillation and answers to these?
