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...
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...
3. Given the equilibrium data for acetone from ethanol at 1 atm below, 0.262 0.15 0.348 0.417 0.25 0.478 0.524 0.35 0.566 0.605 0.674 0.739 0.802 0.865 0.929 0.1 0.3 0.6 0.7 0.9 Answer the following: A distillation column with a total condenser is separating acetone from ethanol. A distillate concentration of 90 mo1% acetone is desired. Since CMO is valid, LN is constant at 0.80, find the composition of the liquid leaving the 5th stage below the condenser a....
A liquid stream, F, containing A and B is fed to a distillation column. The total feed flow is 850 moles Tray efficiency for the column is 0.65 Reflux is to be operated at 2.5 x Rmin Given: • Mole fraction of A in the feed is 0.45; A is the more volatile component . q = 0.8 mole fraction of the feed remaining liquid The distillate is to contain 0.89 of A; The bottoms is to contain 0.07 of...

The total feed flow is 1000 moles Tray efficiency for the column is 0.65 Reflux is to be operated at 1.7 x Rmin Given: • Mole fraction of A in the feed is 0.45 ; A is the more volatile component • 4-0.75 mole fraction of the feed remaining liquid • The distillate is to contain 0.9 of A; The bottoms is to contain 0.08 of...
Problem 4.40 Sequential Distillation A liquid mixture containing 30.0 mole% benzene (B), 25.0% toluene (T), and the balance xylene (X) is fed to a distillation column. The bottoms product contains 98.0 mole% X and no B, and 85.5% of the X in the feed is recovered in this stream. The overhead product is fed to a second column. The overhead product from the second column contains 91.0% of the B in the feed to this column. The composition of this...
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...
how to do this problem An Extraction-Distillation Process A mixture containing 50,0 wt% acetone (A) and 50.0 wt% water (W) is to be separated into two streams-one rich in acetone and the other in water. The separation process consists of extraction of the acetone from the water into methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK or M), which has a much higher affinity for acetone than it does for water. The process is shown schematically below. M (solvent) M (solvent) Feed Raffinate 1...
