Since the boiling point of ______ and CH2Cl2 are very close, what do you expect for the production of ______ from the first column?It is indeed difficult to separate ______ and CH2Cl2 and therefore, good number of separation trays be used or structured packing be used to reduce the height of the first column. When the reactions are highly exothermic, why is the feed pre-heated?
