Zone Refiner Simulator
The Zone Refiner Simulator software is included with every MiniZone II Zone Refiner. This powerful tool allows you to model and predict zone refining outcomes before running actual experiments, saving time and optimizing your purification process.
Software Features
Distribution Modeling
Calculate impurity distribution profiles based on zone passes and distribution coefficients.
Process Optimization
Determine optimal number of zone passes for your target purity level.
Graphical Display
Visual representation of impurity concentration along the sample length.
Parameter Control
Adjust zone rate, temperature profiles, and other critical parameters.
Simulation Capabilities
- Model impurity segregation for various distribution coefficients (k values)
- Predict purity levels after specified number of zone passes
- Calculate optimal cut points for sample sectioning
- Compare theoretical predictions with experimental results
- Export data for further analysis and documentation
System Requirements
The Zone Refiner Simulator software runs on Windows operating systems and requires minimal system resources. The software is pre-installed on the control computer included with the MiniZone II system.
- Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11
- Minimum 2GB RAM
- 100MB available disk space
- USB port for MiniZone II connection
