An apparatus for purifying an organic compound and a method of purifying an organic compound, the apparatus including an inner tube that receives a purification target material therein; a heater that heats the purification target material received in the inner tube; an evacuator that evacuates the inner tube into a vacuum; and a driving device that drives the inner tube.

In accordance with one embodiment, a processing device includes a heated internal wall and a rotating rod positioned within an interior space formed by the heated internal wall. The rotating rod may be hollow and act as an internal heat exchanger. The processing device also includes a plurality of baffles spaced apart from one another along the rotating rod and extending away from the rotating rod towards the heated internal wall. The processing device also includes at least one wiper or roller coupled to an edge of at least one of the plurality of baffles or porous, packed basket, coupled to the rotating rod and that contacts the heated internal wall while rotating together with the rotating rod. In another embodiment, a processing device may be used to adsorb reactive gases into a liquid phase while heat is exchanged.

A thin-film treatment apparatus for treating viscous material includes a process housing oriented at an incline of at most 20° with a heatable and/or coolable housing casing, which surrounds a housing interior forming a material treatment space, an inlet nozzle arranged in an inlet zone of the process housing to introduce the material to be treated into the material treatment space, an outlet nozzle arranged in an outlet zone of the process housing to discharge the treated material from the material treatment space, and a drivable rotor shaft arranged in the material treatment space and extending coaxially for producing a material film on the inner surface of the housing casing and for conveying the material in the direction of an outlet zone.

The rotor shaft includes at least one lift element arranged on the rotor shaft body, for producing a lifting force in the direction of the rotating rotor shaft body.

At least one aspect of the technology provides a self-contained processing facility configured to convert organic, high water-content waste, such as fecal sludge and garbage, into electricity while also generating and collecting potable water.

The present invention relates to the field of devolatilization, and discloses a polylactic acid devolatilization evaporator, which comprises: a container comprising a cylinder; an agitating shaft coaxial with the cylinder; an agitating belt connected to the agitating shaft and arranged in a spiral shape around the central axis of the cylinder, comprising an outer belt surface facing the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and spaced apart from the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder. With the above technical scheme, the agitating belt makes the materials distributed more uniformly on the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder and form a thin layer in uniform thickness, thereby avoids agglomeration of the materials, facilitates uniform heating of the materials, avoids deterioration (e.g., darkened color) of the materials owing to non-uniform heating of the materials and excessive retention time in a high-temperature environment, and improves product quality.
