    Abstract: A method for separating a liquid mixture containing readily-volatile and sparingly-volatile components involves using a film evaporator with a heat-exchange surface which is coated with material which catalyses the formation of readily-volatile component(s) in the liquid film. A method for separating a liquid mixture containing (A) readily-volatile and (B) sparingly-volatile components in a film evaporator by (i) producing a continuous stream of a liquid starting mixture, (ii) producing a liquid film from the mixture and bringing it into contact with a heat-exchange surface of the evaporator, and (iii) partly evaporating the film to give two gas streams rich in (A) and (B) respectively. In this method, (iv) the heat-exchange surface is coated with a catalytic material and (v) a chemical reaction in which (A) is/are formed is catalysed in the liquid film. An independent claim is also included for a film evaporator with a heat-exchanger wall which is coated with catalytic material.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating trioxane from a mixture containing formaldehyde, trioxane and water. According to said method: the mixture (1) is distilled in a first distillation stage (7) at a pressure of between 0.1 and 2 bar to obtain a stream (8) containing formaldehyde and a stream (9) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde; the stream (9) is mixed with a recycling stream (19) containin g predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde to form a stre am (10) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyd e; the stream (10) is then distilled in a second distillation stage (14) at a pressure of between 0.2 and 10 bar, optionally after the separation of low- boilers from the stream (9) or (10) in an additional distillation stage (11) . The pressure in the second distillation stage (14) is at least 0.1 bar highe r than the pressure in the first distillation stage (7). Said distillation produces a stream (15) consisting of trioxane and a stream (16) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde. The stream (1 6) is then distilled in a third distillation stage (17) at a pressure of betwee n 0.1 and 4 bar, to obtain a stream (18) containing predominantly water, in addition to formaldehyde and the recycling stream (19) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde. The resultant stream (18) is optionally distilled in a fourth distillation stage (20), to obtain a stream (21) containing predominantly water and a stream (22) containing predominantly formaldehyde.
