Die Entwicklung der Destillationstechnik von ihren Anfängen bis zum Jahre 1800

Abstract

Development of the technique of distillation from its beginnings up to the year 1800. Even today, distillation and rectification are still the most commonly used thermal separation methods employed for resolving mixtures of liquids into their individual components. Both techniques have a long history, and there is definite evidence for their use dating from the first century A. D. This development will be traced from its beginnings up to about 1800 and the major technological advances indicated. The overall time span is divided into five sections: antiquity up to 600 A. D; the Arabian epoch (800 to 1200); the Middle Ages (700 to 1400); late Middle Ages and Renaissance (1400 to 1600), Baroque and Enlightenment (1600 to 1800).

Autonomous Hydrodistillation with a Digital Twin for Efficient and Climate Neutral Manufacturing of Phytochemicals

“…Distillation as a separation or extraction process was found for the first time 79 AD in the literature [13,14]. Distillation was described not only as the extraction of alcohols, but also as the extraction of oils from plant material.…”

Distinct and Quantitative Validation for Predictive Process Modelling in Steam Distillation of Caraway Fruits and Lavender Flower Following a Quality-By-Design (QbD) Approach

“…Consequently, scale-up considerations, prediction of extraction behaviour of specific components of the essential oil and application of these models to different plant materials are not directly possible. A generalised and methodical approach to steam distillation, as it is available for distillation is missing [9,10].…”
