What are the advantages of extraction compared with distillation?

Extraction, also known as solvent extraction or liquid-liquid extraction (as distinguished from solid-liquid extraction, that is, leaching), also known as extraction (often used in petroleum refining industry). It is a mass transfer and separation process that uses liquid extractant to treat immiscible two-component or multi-component solutions to realize component separation. This is a widely used unit operation. Based on the principle of similar miscibility, there are two extraction methods:

Liquid-liquid extraction is the separation of a component in a liquid mixture with a selected solvent. The solvent must be immiscible with the extracted mixed solution, with selective solubility, good thermal stability and chemical stability, and low toxicity and corrosiveness. For example, benzene is used to separate phenol from coal tar; Separating olefins from petroleum fractions with organic solvents; Extraction of Br2 from water with carbon tetrachloride. Solid-liquid extraction, also known as leaching, is to separate the components in the solid mixture with solvents, such as leaching sugar from beets with water; Soak soybean oil in soybean with alcohol to increase oil yield; The effective components in traditional Chinese medicine are leached with water to make fluid extract, which is called "leaching" or "leaching".

Although extraction is often used in chemical experiments, its operation process does not change the chemical composition (or chemical reaction) of the extracted substance, so the extraction operation is a physical process.

Extraction is one of the methods used to purify and purify compounds in organic chemistry laboratory. By extraction, the desired compound can be extracted from a solid or liquid mixture. The commonly used liquid-liquid extraction is introduced here.

principle

Using the difference of solubility or partition coefficient [1] of compounds in two insoluble (or slightly soluble) solvents, the compounds were transferred from one solvent to another. After repeated extraction, most of the compounds were extracted. Distribution law is the main basis of extraction theory, and substances have different solubility in different solvents. At the same time, soluble substances can be dissolved in two solvents by adding them into two mutually immiscible solvents. The experiment shows that at a certain temperature, when there is no decomposition, electrolysis, association and solvation between this compound and these two solvents, the proportion of this compound in the two liquid layers is a constant value. This is true no matter how much substance is added. This is a physical change. Expressed by formula.

CA/CB=K

California. CB represents the mass concentration of a compound in two immiscible solvents. K is a constant called "distribution coefficient".

Organic compounds are usually more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Extracting compounds dissolved in water with organic solvents is a typical example of extraction. When extracting, if a certain amount of electrolyte (such as sodium chloride) is added to the aqueous solution, the "salting-out effect" can be used to reduce the solubility of organic matter and extraction solvent in the aqueous solution, and the extraction effect can often be improved.

To completely extract the desired compound from the solution, it is usually not enough to extract it once, and it must be extracted several times. Using the relationship of distribution law, the residue of the compound after extraction can be calculated.

Let v be the volume of the original solution.

W0 is the total amount of compounds before extraction.

W 1 is the residue of the compound after one extraction.

W2 is the residue of the compound after the second extraction.

W3 is the residue of the compound after n times of extraction.

S is the volume of the extract.

After one extraction, the concentration of the compound in the original solution is w1/v; The concentration of the compound in the extraction solvent is (w0-w1)/s; The ratio of the two is equal to k, that is:

w 1/V =K w 1=w0 KV

(w0-w 1)/S KV+S

Similarly, after the second extraction, there is still

W2/V =K, that is

(w 1-w2)/S

w2=w 1 KV =w0 KV

KV+S KV+S

Therefore, after n extractions:

wn=w0 ( KV)

KV+S

When a certain amount of solvent is used, it is desirable that the amount remaining in water be as small as possible. On the other hand, KV/(KV+S) is always less than 1, so the greater N, the smaller wn. That is to say, instead of extracting with all the solvents once, it is better to divide the solvents into several times and extract for many times. However, it should be noted that the above formula is applicable to solvents that are almost insoluble in water, such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride. However, a small amount of solvents, such as diethyl ether, are miscible with water. The above formula is only approximate. But you can still qualitatively point out the expected results.

App application

Compared with other methods for separating solution components, extraction has the advantages of operating at room temperature, saving energy, not involving solids and gases, and convenient operation. The application of extraction is usually beneficial in the following situations: ① The boiling points of each component of the feed liquid are similar, and even a boiling substance is formed, which is difficult to rectify, such as the separation of alkanes and aromatics in petroleum fractions and the dephenolization of coal tar; ② For the separation of low-concentration and high-boiling components, distillation consumes a lot of energy, such as dehydration with dilute acetic acid; (3) For the separation of various ions, such as the separation and purification of mineral leaching solution, if chemicals are added for partial precipitation, not only the separation quality is poor, but also the filtration operation is carried out, and the loss is great; (4) separation of unstable substances (such as heat-sensitive substances), such as penicillin from fermentation broth. The application of extraction is still developing. Most elements in the periodic table can be extracted and separated by extraction. The selection and development of extractant, the determination of process and operating conditions, the design and calculation of process and equipment are all topics in the development of extraction operation. Liquid-liquid extraction refers to the process of redistribution of solute in one liquid phase in the other liquid phase or two phases after two completely immiscible or partially miscible liquid phases contact. As shown in the figure.

Several concepts:

1 stock solution: raw material solution to be separated. The component to be extracted in the stock solution becomes solute A, and the rest is called diluent B..

2 solvent s: the solvent added to extract a, also known as extractant.

3. Extraction phase: after mixed extraction of the original solvent and diluent, it is divided into two phases, containing more solvent S;

4 raffinate phase: the phase mainly containing diluent.

5 extraction solution: the solution after solvent is removed from the extraction phase.

6 raffinate: the solution after the solvent is removed from the raffinate phase.

Conditions of the extraction process:

1. Two contacting liquid phases are completely immiscible or partially miscible;

2. The proportion of solute component and diluent in two phases is different;

3. Two-phase contact mixing and phase separation;

4. Text box: Figure 1 1- 1 Schematic diagram of extraction operation. The solvent S has different solubility for A and B, and the solvent is selective, that is,

Wherein: y represents the concentration of components in the extraction phase; X represents the concentration of components in the raffinate phase.

The above formula shows that the concentration ratio of A/B in the extraction phase should be greater than that in the raffinate phase.

Typical industrial extraction process

1 anhydrous acetic acid was prepared by extracting acetic acid from dilute acetic acid aqueous solution with ethyl acetate as solvent.

Because the extraction phase contains water and the raffinate phase contains ethyl acetate, the extracted product and solvent must be separated by distillation.

2. Using butyl acetate as solvent to extract penicillin products.

3. Extraction of cyclic hydrocarbons from petroleum light fraction with sulfolane as solvent;

4. Dephenolization of wastewater with light oil as solvent:

5. Extracting vitamins from vegetable oil with propane as solvent.

Economy of extraction process

Under the relative volatility of 1 mixture, or the constant boiling substance is formed, it can not be separated by general distillation method or it is very uneconomical;

2. The concentration of the mixture is very thin, so a large amount of diluent B must be vaporized by rectification, which consumes energy.

The mixed solution contains heat-sensitive substances (such as drugs), which can be prevented from being damaged by heat by extraction.

Requirements for extractant in extraction process:

① good selectivity;

(2) high extraction capacity;

③ Good chemical stability;

4 better;

⑤ It is easy to carry out back extraction or rectification separation;

⑥ Safe, economical and low toxic operation.

Edit this paragraph history

In ancient Greece, Aristotle once wrote: "Through distillation, water can be turned into steam, then into liquid, and seawater can be turned into drinking water". This shows that people discovered the principle of distillation at that time. The ancient Egyptians used distillation to make spices. In the early Middle Ages, Arabs invented the distillation of wine. In the tenth century, a philosopher named Avicenna described the still in detail.

Principles for editing this paragraph

Using the difference of volatility of each component in the liquid mixture, the liquid mixture is partially vaporized, and then the vapor is partially condensed, thus realizing the separation of its components. Belonging to the unit operation of mass transfer and separation. Widely used in oil refining, chemical industry, light industry and other fields.

Its principle takes the separation of two-component mixed liquid as an example. When the feed liquid is partially vaporized by heating, the volatile components are enriched in the vapor, and the non-volatile components are also enriched in the remaining liquid, which realizes the separation of the two components to some extent. The greater the difference of volatilization ability between the two components, the greater the concentration degree. In industrial distillation equipment, partially vaporized liquid phase directly contacts with partially condensed gas phase for gas-liquid mass transfer. As a result, the hard volatile components in the gas phase are partially transferred to the liquid phase, and the volatile components in the liquid phase are partially transferred to the gas phase, that is, partial vaporization of the liquid phase and partial condensation of the vapor phase are simultaneously realized.

Due to molecular movement, liquid molecules are easy to overflow from the surface. This trend increases with the increase of temperature. If the liquid is placed in a closed vacuum system, the liquid molecules will overflow continuously and form vapor on the upper part of the liquid surface. Finally, the speed at which the molecules leave the liquid is equal to the speed at which the molecules return from the vapor to the liquid, and the vapor will maintain a certain pressure. At this time, the vapor on the liquid surface reaches saturation, which is called saturated vapor, and the pressure it exerts on the liquid surface is called saturated vapor pressure. Experiments show that the saturated vapor pressure of liquid is only related to temperature, that is, liquid has a certain vapor pressure at a certain temperature. This refers to the pressure when the liquid and its vapor are in equilibrium, regardless of the absolute amount of liquid and vapor in the system.

The combined operation of heating a liquid to boiling, turning it into steam, and then cooling and condensing the steam into liquid is called distillation. Obviously, distillation can separate volatile and nonvolatile substances, as well as liquid mixtures with different boiling points. However, the boiling points of each component in the liquid mixture must be very different (at least above 30℃) in order to get better separation effect. In atmospheric distillation, the atmospheric pressure is often not exactly 0. 1MPa, so strictly speaking, a correction value should be added to the observed boiling point. However, due to the small deviation, even if the atmospheric pressure difference is 2.7KPa, the correction value is only about 65438 0℃, which can be ignored.

A flask filled with liquid is placed on an asbestos net, and the bottom is heated by a gas lamp to form a steam bubble on the contact surface between the liquid bottom and the glass. The air dissolved in the liquid or adsorbed on the bottle wall in the form of a film contributes to the formation of such bubbles, and the rough surface of the glass also plays a role in promoting it. Such a small bubble (called gasification center) can be used as the core of a large steam bubble. At the boiling point, the liquid releases a large amount of steam into small bubbles. When the total pressure of the bubbles increases above atmospheric pressure and is enough to overcome the pressure generated by the liquid column, the steam bubbles rise and escape from the surface of the liquid. Therefore, if there are many small air or other gasification centers in the liquid, the liquid can boil smoothly. If there is almost no air in the liquid and the bottle wall is very clean and smooth, it is difficult to form bubbles. When heated in this way, the temperature of the liquid may rise much above the boiling point without boiling, which is called "overheating". Once bubbles are formed, because the vapor pressure of the liquid at this temperature far exceeds the sum of atmospheric pressure and liquid column pressure, the rising bubbles increase very quickly and even flush the liquid out of the bottle. This abnormal boiling phenomenon is called "boiling". Therefore, boiling AIDS should be added before heating to introduce the gasification center to ensure the stability of boiling. Boilers are generally objects with loose and porous surfaces and air adsorption, such as broken porcelain pieces and zeolite. In addition, several closed capillaries can be used to introduce into the gasification center (note that the capillaries are long enough so that their upper ends can lean against the bottleneck of the distillation bottle and the open ends are downward). In any case, it is forbidden to add boiling AIDS to the liquid that has been heated to near boiling, otherwise it is often dangerous to spray a large amount of liquid from the distillation bottle because of the sudden release of a large amount of steam. If you forget to add the boiling aid before heating, you must remove the heat source before adding it, and you can't add it until the heated liquid cools below the boiling point. If boiling stops in the middle, new boiling AIDS should be added before reheating. Because the initially added boiling aid drives out some air when heating and absorbs liquid when cooling, it may have failed. In addition, if the water bath is used for indirect heating, the temperature of the water bath should not exceed the boiling point of distillate by 20℃. C. This heating method can not only greatly reduce the temperature difference of different parts of the distilled liquid in the bottle, but also make the steam bubbles rise not only from the bottom of the flask, but also along the edge of the liquid, thus greatly reducing the possibility of overheating.

Pure liquid organic compounds have a certain boiling point under a certain pressure, but liquids with fixed boiling points are not necessarily pure compounds, because some organic compounds often form binary or ternary boiling mixtures with other components, and they also have a certain boiling point. The boiling point of impure substances depends on the physical properties of impurities and their interaction with pure substances. If the impurities are nonvolatile, the boiling point of the solution is slightly higher than that of the pure substance (but in distillation, the actual measurement is not the boiling point of the impure solution, but the temperature at which the escaping vapor and its condensation reach equilibrium, that is, the boiling point of the distillate rather than the boiling point of the distillate in the bottle). If the impurities are volatile, the boiling point of the liquid will gradually increase during the distillation process, or because two or more substances form a * * * boiling point mixture, the temperature can remain unchanged and stay in a certain range during the distillation process. So the constant boiling point does not mean that it is a pure compound.

When distilling mixed liquids with different boiling points, the lower boiling point is distilled first, the higher boiling point is distilled later, and the nonvolatile liquid remains in the distiller, thus achieving the purpose of separation and purification. Therefore, distillation is one of the common methods to separate and purify liquid compounds, and it is an important basic operation that must be mastered skillfully. When the mixture with similar boiling points is distilled, the vapors of various substances will be distilled at the same time, but there are many low boiling points, so it is difficult to achieve the purpose of separation and purification, so we have to resort to fractionation. The boiling range of pure liquid compounds during distillation is very small (0.5~ 1℃). Therefore, distillation can be used to determine the boiling point. The method for determining boiling point by distillation is constant method, and the sample consumption of this method is large, exceeding 10 mL. If there are few samples, trace method should be used.

Principle of fractionation experiment

Definition: Fractionation is a method to complete multiple gasification-condensation processes in one operation by using a fractionator. So fractionation is actually multiple distillation. It is more suitable for the separation and purification of liquid organic mixtures with similar boiling points.

Necessity of fractionation: (1) incomplete distillation separation. (2) Repeated distillation operation is tedious, time-consuming and wasteful.

After the mixed liquid boils, the steam enters the fractionator and partially condenses. Condensed water contacts with rising steam in the process of falling, and they exchange heat. The high-boiling components in the steam are condensed, while the low-boiling components in the condensate still rise in the form of steam, while the low-boiling components in the condensate are heated and gasified, and the high-boiling components still fall in the liquid state. As a result, the low-boiling components in the ascending steam increase, while the high-boiling components in the descending condensate increase. After many times of heat exchange, it is equivalent to continuous ordinary distillation. So that the steam of the low-boiling component rises continuously and is distilled out; Components with high boiling point are continuously refluxed to the distillation bottle for separation.

Edit this paragraph of solution distillation.

When the solution containing non-volatile components is distilled, the solvent vapor is led out of the condenser tube, and the non-volatile components remain in the residual liquid in the bottle. Most of the solvents can be distilled by simple distillation, so as to achieve the purpose of separation. According to Raoul's law, under a certain pressure, the vapor pressure of a solvent in a dilute solution is equal to the vapor pressure of a pure solvent multiplied by the molar fraction of the solvent in the solution:

P solvent =po solvent x solvent

In the formula, the P solvent and the po solvent are the vapor pressure of the solvent in the solution and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent respectively;

Because that solvent x in the solution

The pressure (point B) is lower than the vapor pressure of water (point A). Water will boil at 100℃ (1 atmospheric pressure), but the solution will not boil. Only at a higher temperature (point B') will the solution boil. For this solution, distillation operation is either used to recover pure solvent or to obtain solid solute.

Edit this paragraph method classification

① Flash evaporation. The liquid mixture is heated, and then a partial evaporation separation operation is carried out.

② Simple distillation. The separation operation of gradually vaporizing the mixed liquid and condensing the steam in time to collect it in stages.

3 rectification. Reflux is the most widely used method to achieve high purity and high recovery separation operation. For mixed liquids with equal or similar volatility, in order to increase the relative volatility between components, solvents or salts can be added during distillation separation. This separation operation is called special distillation, including azeotropic distillation, extractive distillation and salting distillation. In the process of distillation, chemical reactions also occur between the components of the mixed liquid, which is called reactive distillation.

Edit this laboratory distillation operation.

Distillation operation is a commonly used experimental technology in chemical experiments, which is generally used in the following aspects:

(1) to separate the liquid mixture. Only when the boiling points of the components in the mixture are quite different can effective separation be realized;

(2) determining the boiling point of the pure compound;

(3) purification, that is, distilling substances containing a small amount of impurities to improve their purity;

(4) Recovering the solvent, or evaporating part of the solvent to concentrate the solution.

Feeding: Carefully pour the liquid to be distilled into the distillation bottle through the glass funnel, and be careful not to make the liquid flow out of the branch pipe. Add some boiling AIDS and install a thermometer, which should be installed at the side opening leading to the condenser tube. Check again whether all parts of the instrument are connected tightly and correctly.

Heating: When using the condenser tube, cold water is slowly introduced from the lower mouth of the condenser tube, then flows out from the upper mouth to the sink, and then heating is started. When heating, you can see that the liquid in the distillation bottle gradually boils and the vapor gradually rises. The reading of the thermometer also rose slightly. When the top of the steam reaches the mercury ball of the thermometer, the thermometer reading rises sharply. At this time, the flame of the gas lamp should be turned down properly or the voltage of the electric heating furnace or electric heating jacket should be reduced, so that the heating speed is slightly slower and the top of the steam stays in place, so that the upper part of the bottleneck and the thermometer are heated, so that the temperature of the droplets and the steam on the mercury ball can be balanced. Then slightly increase the flame and distill. Generally, it is appropriate to control the heating temperature and adjust the distillation speed at 1 ~ 2 drops per second. During the whole distillation process, there should always be condensed water droplets on the mercury ball of the thermometer. now

[distillation]

distil

Temperature is the temperature when liquid and vapor are in equilibrium, and the reading of thermometer is the boiling point of liquid (distillate). When distilling, the heated flame should not be too large, otherwise the bottleneck of distillation will be overheated, so that some liquid vapor will be directly heated by the flame, and the boiling point read by thermometer will be high; On the other hand, distillation should not be carried out too slowly, otherwise the boiling point reading on the thermometer is low or irregular because the mercury ball of the thermometer can not be fully penetrated by distillation steam.

Observe the boiling point and collect the distillate: at least two receiving bottles should be prepared before distillation. Because before reaching the boiling point of the expected substance, the liquid with lower boiling point is steamed out first. This fraction is called "pre-fraction" or "distillate". After the front distillate is steamed, the temperature tends to be stable and it is a relatively pure substance. At this time, a clean and dry receiving bottle should be replaced for acceptance, and the thermometer reading of the liquid at the beginning and the last drop of distillation should be recorded, which is the boiling range (boiling range) of distillate. Generally, liquids contain some impurities with high boiling point more or less. After distilling off the required fraction, if the heating temperature continues to rise, the reading of the thermometer will increase significantly. If the original heating temperature is maintained and the distillate is no longer distilled, the temperature will suddenly drop. At this point, distillation should be stopped. Even if the impurity content is small, don't evaporate it to dryness, so as to avoid accidents such as cracking of distillation bottles.

After distillation, stop heating first, then stop water supply, and dismantle the instrument. Disassembly of the instrument is in the reverse order of assembly. First remove the receiver, then remove the tail pipe, condenser pipe, distillation head and distillation bottle.

Attention should be paid to the operation: (1) Put a small amount of broken porcelain pieces in the distillation bottle to prevent the liquid from boiling. (2) The mercury ball position of the thermometer should be on the same level with the lower edge of the branch nozzle. (3) The liquid contained in the distillation bottle should not exceed 2/3 of its volume and should not be less than 1/3. (4) The cooling water in the condenser tube enters from the lower mouth and is discharged from the upper mouth. (5) The heating temperature should not exceed the boiling point of the substance with the highest boiling point in the mixture.

Archaeologists excavated more than 440 Han tombs in the east of Zhangjiabao Square in Xi 'an. Among them, a copper distiller with peculiar technology was found in a tomb in the period of Wang Mang in the Western Han Dynasty, which may be the earliest distiller in history.

This copper distiller is 36 cm high and consists of a cylindrical container, a copper pot and a bean-shaped cover. Among them, there is a MiG-shaped grate at the bottom of the cylinder, which is used as a sandwich in ancient cookers. There is a small tube flow at the bottom, with three hooves. The upper part of the bean-shaped cover is disc-shaped, and the joints are tenon-nail structure, which can move freely within a certain range. When unearthed, it is placed in an orderly manner. The copper pot is placed in a cylindrical container, and the bean-shaped lid is placed on the copper pot. This kind of combined distiller has never been found before. Although its working principle is not clear, it should be used as distillation medicine and wine in structure.

It is understood that a bronze distiller from the Eastern Han Dynasty was unearthed in China before, and a copper distiller was also found in the Han Tomb in Zhangjiabao, Xi 'an. Cheng Linquan, deputy director of the Xi Institute of Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology, said that its excavation provided very valuable information for the study of diet and medical technology in the Han Dynasty.

In addition, in the tomb with the distiller number M 1 15, archaeologists also unearthed more than 200 cultural relics, including 5 large bronze ding and 4 large glazed pottery ding. According to Zhou Li, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was buried with Jiuding. The owner of the tomb of M 1 15 respected the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty and buried it with Jiuding, which shows its special status. Jiuding and another funerary object, the imitation bronze glazed pottery tripod, are the real material evidence of Wang Mang's political reform, which has extremely important academic value and historical significance.

Tequila wine

Distilled liquor is a variety of alcoholic beverages, and the alcohol concentration is higher than that of the original fermented products. Brandy, whisky, rum and China are all distilled spirits, most of which are highly alcoholic spirits.

The raw material of distilled liquor is generally starch rich in natural sugar or easily converted into sugar. Such as honey, sugar cane, sugar beet, fruit and corn, sorghum, rice, wheat and potatoes. Sugar and starch are fermented by yeast to produce alcohol. Using the difference between the boiling point of alcohol (78.5 degrees Celsius) and the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius), the original fermentation broth was heated to the boiling point between them, and the alcohol components and aroma substances were collected by distillation.

Liquor, mash or fermented grains are heated by special distillers. Because of the different volatilities of various substances contained in it, the relative contents of various substances in steam and liquor are different in the process of heating distillation. Alcohol (ethanol) is more volatile, so the alcohol concentration in the steam produced after heating increases, while the alcohol concentration in liquor or mash decreases. After collecting alcohol and cooling, the obtained wine is colorless, but the smell is spicy and strong. Its alcohol content is much higher than that of the original liquor, and the alcohol content of the general brewed liquor is lower than 20%. Distilled liquor can reach more than 60%. Distilled liquor in China is mainly brewed from grain raw materials and then distilled.

Distilled liquor familiar to modern people can be divided into "white wine" (also called "shochu"), "brandy" and "whisky". Vodka, rum, etc Liquor is unique to China and is usually distilled after grain brewing. Brandy is distilled from wine, and whiskey is distilled from grains such as barley after fermentation. Rum is distilled from sugarcane wine.

The distilled water machine adopts the principle of tubular falling film evaporation, and the raw water flows evenly on the wall of the tube through a special distributor, which greatly improves the evaporation efficiency, and adopts a special spiral separation device to reliably remove pyrogens and particles. The reuse of secondary steam makes full use of heat energy and has obvious energy-saving effect. It is an ideal distilled water equipment for hospitals, pharmaceutical factories, electronics, scientific research and other industries.

molecular distillation

Molecular distillation is a continuous distillation process with liquid-liquid separation operation under high vacuum. Under the condition of high vacuum, because the distance between the heating surface and the condensation surface of the molecular distiller is less than or equal to the molecular mean free path of the separated substance, when the molecules evaporate from the surface of the liquid film formed on the heating surface, the molecules collide with each other, move to the condensation surface unimpeded and condense on the condensation surface, thus achieving the purpose of separation.

Molecular distillation volatilizes when the components to be separated are far below the normal boiling point, and the residence time of each component is short when heated, which is especially suitable for separating natural products with high boiling point, high viscosity and heat sensitivity. Therefore, molecular distillation technology can realize the operation far from the boiling point, with the characteristics of low distillation pressure, short heating time and high separation degree, which can greatly reduce the separation cost of high-boiling substances and protect the quality of heat-sensitive substances. Molecular distillation technology appeared in the 1930s abroad, and the industrialized reaction began in the 1960s. The research and development of molecular distillation technology in China began in the mid-1980s. At present, this technology has been widely used in petrochemical industry, food spices and other fields, especially for the extraction and separation of natural substances. In this paper, the principle of molecular distillation, extractor and its application in flavor and fragrance industry are briefly described.
