Abstract
A fractional-volatilization separator includes a liquid inlet port for receiving a liquid mixture and a liquid waste outlet port for draining the liquid mixture. The fractional-volatilization separator includes a separator body having an interior wall portion connecting the liquid inlet port and the liquid waste outlet port. The fractional-volatilization separator includes a carrier gas inlet port coupled with the separator body for receiving a carrier gas, and a carrier gas outlet port coupled with the separator body for expelling the carrier gas. The interior wall portion is configured to cause the liquid mixture to flow from the liquid inlet port across the interior wall portion to the liquid waste outlet port to enhance evaporation of a first component part from a second component part of the liquid mixture as the carrier gas flows from the carrier gas inlet port to the carrier gas outlet port.
