What are the Applications of Vacuum Distillation in Catalysis?
Vacuum distillation is used in various catalytic processes, including:
Hydrogenation reactions, where it helps in removing solvents and unreacted starting materials. Polymerization processes, for the removal of monomers and oligomers from the final polymer product. Refining of crude oil, to separate high-boiling point fractions such as lubricating oils and waxes. Purification of bio-catalysts and pharmaceutical intermediates, where maintaining the integrity of sensitive compounds is crucial.
