Molecular Distiller

Working principle: Molecular distillation (short-range distillation) is an advanced separation process that operates under high vacuum (<10 Pa), where evaporated molecules move the minimum distance to the condensation surface. Separation occurs when the distance between the heated condensation surface and the average free path of the molecule is ≤. Realize gentle liquid-liquid separation without boiling
