11.1 A temperature control system for a distillation column is shown in Fig. E11.1. The temperature T of a tray near the top of the column is controlled by adjusting the reflux flow rate …

a) A distillation column with a total condenser is separating acetone from ethanol. A distillate concentration of x D = 0.90 mole fraction acetone is desired. Since CMO is valid, L/V = …

A sieve plate distillation column is separating a feed that is 50.0 mol% n-hexane and 50.0 mol% n-heptane. The feed is a saturated liquid. Plate spacing is 24.0 in. Average column pressure is …

In an ideal column, the vapor leaving each tray (going up) is in phase The overhead from a distillation column is to have the following composition: A schematic of the top of a distillation …

A 100kmol/h stream that is 97 mole% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and 3% carbon disulfide (CS2) is to be recovered from the bottom of a distillation column. The feed to the column is 16 mole …

Question: - A distillation column with a total condenser is separating a feed that is 30.0 mol% acetone from ethanol. Distillate xD=0.90 and bottoms xB=0.13, both mole fractions acetone.

A 100 kmol/h stream that is 97 mole% carbon tetrachloride (CCL) and 3% carbon disulfide (CS2) is to be recovered from the bottom of a distillation column. The feed to the column is 16 mole% …
