A liquid containing four components, A, B, C and D, with 0.3 mole fraction each of A, B and C, is to be continuously fractionated to give a top product of 0.9 mole fraction A and 0.1 mole fraction B. The bottoms are to contain not more than 0.05 mole fraction A.
(i) Determine the composition of distillate and bottom liquid stream
(ii) Determine the composition of the distillate and bottom liquid stream
(iii) Determine the minimum reflux ratio required for this separation, if the relative volatility of A to B is 2.0.
(iv) Estimate the number of theoretical stages needed for the separation (v) Determine the expression for the operating line for (i) above the feed plate (ii) below the feed plate

N-Heptane / Cycloheptane Separation. A saturated liquid feed of 600 mol/hr containing 54 mole % n-heptane is to be fractionated at 101.325kPa (abs) in order to form a distillate containing 94 mole % n-heptane and a bottoms product of 10 mole % cycloheptane. Assume Raoult’s Law behavior applies (calculated results provided). The distillate reflux ratio to be used is 8:1. a) Calculate the flowrates (mol/hr) of the distillate and bottoms. b) Determine the minimum reflux ratio, RMIN and the minimum...

The vapor-liquid equilibrium for n-pentane and n-hexane at 1 ATM is well approximated using a constant relative volatility of 2.95. CMO is valid. For all the problems, the feed stream is flowing at 80 mol/s and contains 45 mol% n-pentane, the feed is a saturated liquid (q = 1) at the column pressure, the distillate is 95 mol% n-pentane, and the bottoms is 10 mol% n-pentane. In this problem, you should analyze the column graphically using the McCabe-Thiele Method a....
