We are separating acetone and ethanol in a distillation column with a total condenser and a partial reboiler. The column has two feeds and operates at a pressure of 1.0 atm. Feed 1 is a saturated liquid that is 60.0 mol% acetone and has a feed rate of F1 = 200.0 kmol/h. The second feed is 40.0 mol% acetone, has a feed rate of F2 = 300.0 kmol/h, and is a two-phase mixture that is 20% vapor. Assume CMO is...
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....
A distillation column is separating a feed that is 40 mol% methanol and 60% water. The two phase feed is 60% liquid. Distillate product should be 92% methanol and bottoms 4 mol%. A total reboiler and a total condenser are used and reflux is saturated. Operation is at atmospheric pressure with a reflux ratio of 0.9. Under these conditions, HG = 1.3 ft and HL = 0.8ft in both the stripping and enriching sections. Determine the required packing height in...
Question 3 A saturated liquid mixture is fed to a continuous distillation column at 300 kmol/h. The specifications of the operation of the column are provided in Table 2. The column operates at 800 kPa.

Please answer the question D-E using the K-value below The following feed mixture is to be separated by ordinary distillation at 120 psia so as to obtain 92.5 mole% of the nc, in the liquid distillate and 82.0 mole% of the iC5 in the bottoms Lbmole/hr C3 iC nC ic nC 10 15 25 20 30 100 a) Estimate the minimum number of equilibrium stages required by applying the b) Use the Fenske equation to determine the distribution of nonkey...
Problem #1 A batch still is to be used to separate methanol from an aqueous solution. The still consists of an equilibrium still pot surmounted by a number of plates equivalent to two more equilibrium stages. A total condenser is used, which returns saturated reflux. During separation the overhead reflux ratio L/D is held constant at 1.00. The holdup on the plates and in the condenser system is insignificantly small in comparison with that in the still pot. Suppose that...
Hand Calculations (40 %)-(must not exceed 2 pages) The process involves the separation of a binary mixture containing heptane and ethylbenzene using a countercurrently operated continuous fractionation unit. A feed at a flowrate of 252 mol/h containing 43 wt% heptane and 57 wt% ethyl benzene is to be fractionated at 1 bar to give a distillate with 95 mol% heptane and a bottom product with 95 m0196 ethyl benzene. The reflux ratio will be 70% more than the minimum. The...
