👉 The receiving fluid, often referred to as the reservoir or sink fluid, is a liquid that collects and stores the byproducts generated during a chemical reaction in a reactor or separator. In processes like distillation, absorption, or extraction, the receiving fluid is where the reaction products accumulate and are subsequently removed from the system. It acts as a medium for separating desired compounds from impurities or unreacted materials, playing a crucial role in the purification and recovery of target substances. The receiving fluid's properties, such as its boiling point, density, and chemical compatibility with the reaction products, are carefully considered to ensure efficient separation and product recovery.
