Design of commercial batch fractionating columns for separation of alpha & beta-pinenes from turpentine oil by the simple method developed
A commercial batch fractionating column, for separating alpha- & beta -pinenes from a multicomponent mixture, such as tupentine oil was designed, installed and commissioned. The practical results obtained speak well of the accuracy of the Simple graphical method developed for designing such columns and calculations for isolating different components.
