Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Zero-Gravity Distillation Units

Zero-gravity distillation (ZGD) represents an attractive method to perform small-scale distillation processes. In contrast to gravity in conventional distillation units, capillary forces, for example arising in metal foams, are used to guide the liquid phase. In this work, an experimental ZGD setup...
