—— Operation

Feed liquid is admitted into still under high vacuum, immediately spread into a very thin film and forced quickly down the evaporation surface. Heated walls and high vacuum drive the more volatile components (distillate) to the external condenser as the less volatile components (residue) continue down the cylinder. The resulting fractions, thus separated, exit through individual discharge outlets. Depending on application, the desired product is either the distillate or the residue fraction. Small amounts of condensable low MW compounds collect in cold trap upstream of vacuum system. For high solvent loads, an optional external condenser may be installed immediately downstream of the still.

A simple molecular distillation has a unit which is placed on a hot surface and the distillate moves a very short distance before it gets condensed. If the matter is not too viscous, it will drip from the point on the glass condensing surface and run down to the receiving point.

The sophisticated apparatus with a different design will have the liquid distilled down on a heated surface close to the condenser. The movement of a film prevents a build-up of non-volatile materials on the surface of the material to be distilled as this might cause the distillation to stop.
