A cosa serve la distillazione frazionata?

A cosa serve la distillazione frazionata?

Nell'ambito della raffinazione del petrolio, la distillazione frazionata è utilizzata per ottenere a partire dal petrolio diverse miscele combustibili (tra cui benzina e gasolio), ciascuna avente una diversa temperatura di ebollizione.

Su quale principio si basa la distillazione?

Principio teorico: si basa sulla diversa temperatura di ebollizione dei componenti di un miscuglio. La sostanza che ha una temperatura ed ebollizione più bassa bolle per prima e via via le altre. La distillazione si effettua su un miscuglio che deve essere liquido.

What is the common term for moonshine?

• Common Moonshine Terms. ABV – “Alcohol by volume” – is the percentage of alcohol (ethanol) that is contained within a liquid. Alcometer – is a measuring device used to determine the % of alcohol also referred to as a spirit hydrometer. Backins – Weak whiskey produced at the end of a double run or at the end of a run through a thumper.

How does a Thumper work in distilling?

• In essence, the thumper distills the liquor a second time, raising the proof. At first, most of the steam coming out of the boiler will initially condense in the cold thumper. As more steam continues to come through, this will eventually raise the temperature of the liquid in the thumper so that it starts to boil.

What are the advantages of moonshiner?

• For the backwoods moonshiner, of course, there’s the obvious advantage of material-on-hand. It’s much easier – and cheaper – to find a discarded wooden barrel than to purchase enough Raschig rings or copper scouring pads to fill a large fractionating column.

Is the Thumper a double purification unit?

• The thumper is a double purification unit, it is not a necessity. We want you to run the Thumper dry (meaning, do not add anything in it) until you know what you are doing.
