Abstract
A system for molecular targeting and separating includes a microwave energy source; a vapor source; a column configured and positioned to receive microwave energy from the microwave energy source and vapor from the vapor source; and a condenser, the condenser in communication with the column, the condenser configured to condense the vapor after the vapor receives the microwave energy.
Claims25
A system for molecular targeting and separating, the system comprising:
- a microwave energy source;
- a vapor source;
- a column configured and positioned to receive microwave energy from the microwave energy source and vapor from the vapor source;
- and
- a condenser, the condenser in communication with the column, the condenser configured to condense the vapor after the vapor receives the microwave energy.
An apparatus for molecular targeting and separating of mixtures, said apparatus comprising:
- a microwave energy source capable of transmitting microwave energy;
- a reactor assembly, wherein a constituent mixture comprising separable constituents is stored in the reactor assembly and undergoes irradiation by the microwave energy source and separation to emit vapors;
- a waveguide wherein microwave energy is conducted and directed from said microwave energy source to said reactor assembly;
- a column in fluid communication with said reactor assembly wherein said column is configured and attached to the reactor assembly to allow microwave energy to propagate and said vapors to be conducted there through;
- a condenser assembly configured to provide for variably cooling said vapors;
- and
- a collection tank in communication with the condenser assembly and configured to cool said vapors and collect said vapors.
A method for separating mixtures using a molecular targeting and separation apparatus, said method comprising:
- inserting a constituent mixture comprising separable constituents into a reactor assembly;
- directing microwave energy via a waveguide from a microwave energy source wherein said reactor assembly and said microwave energy causes said constituent mixture to emit vapors that ascend a column;
- containing or releasing said vapors within said column by adjusting system parameters;
- selectively cooling said vapors within a condenser assembly to produce a product;
- and
- collecting said product in a collection tank.
