  2. Vacuum distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_distillation

    Vacuum distillation or distillation under reduced pressure is a type of distillation performed under reduced pressure, which allows the purification of compounds not readily distilled at ambient pressures or simply to save time or energy. This technique separates compounds based on differences in their boiling points.

  3. PET bottle recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET_bottle_recycling

    The treatment of polyester waste through total glycolysis to fully convert the polyester to bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (C 6 H 4 (CO 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH) 2). This compound is purified by vacuum distillation, and is one of the intermediates used in polyester manufacture (see production). The reaction involved is as follows: [23]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_oil_recycling

    The sludge ("residue") associated with engine oil recycling, which collects at the bottom of re-refining vacuum distillation towers, is known by various names, including "re-refined engine oil bottoms" (abbreviated "REOB" or "REOBs"). [9] A report from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) states that:

  6. Short-path distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-path_distillation

    Short-path distillation is a distillation technique that involves the distillate traveling a short distance, often only a few centimeters, and is normally done at reduced pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Short-path distillation systems often have a variety of names depending on the manufacturer of the system and what compounds are being distilled within them.

  7. Food loss and waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_loss_and_waste

    Food recovered by food waste critic Robin Greenfield in Madison, Wisconsin, from two days of recovery from dumpsters [1]. Food loss and waste is food that is not eaten. The causes of food waste or loss are numerous and occur throughout the food system, during production, processing, distribution, retail and food service sales, and consumption.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_cone

    The product is poured in at the top under vacuum, and steam is pumped into the column from below. [1] The vanes provide a large surface area over which volatile compounds can evaporate into the steam, and the rotation ensures a thin layer of the product is constantly moved over the moving cone.
