METHOD OF EVAPORATING LIQUID MEDIA AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: chemical engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention, in particular, relates to separating and treating mono- and multicomponent liquid media by transferring them into vaporous phase for use in a variety of areas. Liquid medium is heated together with a fixed non-consumable substance appropriate to convert electromagnetic field energy into heat, which is presented in the form of granules or monolithic material having internal conduits to pass evaporated medium. This substance can be shaped as sphere or parallelepiped from mixture of following oxides, wt.%: Cr₂O₃, 48.50; Fe₂O₃, 24.85; ZnO, 26.00; SiO₂, 0.5; Co₂O₃, 0.15. Evaporator has working chamber, lightguides for supplying electromagnetic emission, and said granulated material disposed in the working chamber. EFFECT: enhanced process efficiency and reduced power consumption. 3 cl, 2 dwg, 1 tbl
