    Aduchelab Adamsonuniversity
    This document contains multiple supplementary problems involving unit operations like distillation and liquid-liquid extraction. The problems provide conditions like feed compositions and flow rates, as well as constraints on product purities. They ask for calculations of number of equilibrium stages, reflux ratios, condenser/reboiler duties. The liquid extraction problems provide equilibrium data to calculate amounts of components extracted between aqueous and organic phases.

    UNIT OPS (SUPPLEMENTARY PROBLEM)

    1. (Foust 6-7) A flow of 100 lb. moles/hr. of a vapor containing 0.40 mole fractions NH3 and 0.6
    mole fraction H 0 is to be enriched in ammonia in a distillation tower which consists of an
    enriching section and a total condenser. The feed into the bottom of the column is a saturated
    vapor (at its dew point) at 100 psia, the operating pressure. The distillate is withdrawn from a
    total condenser and has a composition of 0.90 mole fraction NH3. Part of the liquid condensed in
    the total condenser is withdrawn as the distillate product and is returned to the column as
    withdrawn as the distillate product and is returned to the column as reflux. 85% of the ammonia
    charged must be recovered in the distillate.
    (a) Calculate the number of equilibrium stages required and the reflux ratio (LO/D)
    (b) What is the condenser duty (heat removed per hour from the condenser)?

    2. (Foust 6-8) A liquid ethanol-water feed is to be stripped of ethanol in a distillation column


    consisting of a stripped section and a reboiler. The liquid will be fed to the top plate and vapor
    reflux will be furnished by a reboiler which takes liquid from the bottom plate and totally
    vaporizes it. The bottoms product is also withdrawn from the bottom plate.
    (a) Calculate the number of equilibrium stages required for the following conditions:
    Feed: 100 lb moles/hr, 0.2 mole fraction ethanol, 0.8 mole fraction water at 100 OF and 1
    atm.
    Vapor Product: 0.5 mole fraction ethanol
    Bottom Product: 0.03 mole fraction ethanol
    (b) What is the reboiler duty (Btu/hr added at reboiler)

    3. (Foust 6-10) 100 lb. moles/hr of an aqueous solution containing 20 mole % ethanol is to be
    fractionated at 1 atm. to produce a distillate of 80 mole % ethanol and a bottoms of 2 mole %
    ethanol. The total condenser has a duty of 1,000, 000 Btu/hr. The bottoms are withdrawn from
    the plate. The feed is a liquid at 140 OF.
    (a) How many equilibrium stages are required?
    (b) What is the reboiler duty?

    4. (Foust 7-13) An aqueous solution containing 20 mole % ethanol is to be fractionated at 1 atm.


    into a distillate of composition 80 mole % ethanol and a waste of composition 3 mole % ethanol.
    The feed is at 60 OF. A distillation column equivalent to seven theoretical plates is available.
    What reflux ratio (L1/D) should be use?
    5. (Foust 8-3) A vapor mixture of 40 mole % hexane and 60 mole % heptane is slowly condensed at
    1 atm. and the equilibrium liquid is withdrawn as is formed. (a) What is the composition of the
    vapor after 50 mole % of it has condensed? (b) If all the liquid were allowed to remain in contact
    with the vapor what would be the composition of the vapor after 50 mole % had condensed?

    LIQUID EXTRACTION

    1. An aqueous solution of acetic acid is to be extracted with isopropyl ether. The solution contains
    24.6 lb. of acetic acid and 80 lb. of water. If 100 lb. of isopropyl ether is added to the solution,
    what weight of acetic acid will be extracted by the isopropyl ether if equilibrium conditions are
    attained? Water and isopropyl ether may be considered as completely immiscible under these
    conditions. At the temperature of the extraction, the following equilibrium data apply:

    Lb. acetic acid


    Y Lb. isopropyl 0.030 0.046 0.063 0.070 0.078 0.086 0.0106
    ether

    Lb. acetic acid


    Y Lb. water 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.22 0.24 0.26 0.30

    2. A liquid mixture of acetaldehyde and toluene contains 8 lb. of acetaldehyde and 90 lb. of
    toluene. Part of the acetaldehyde in this solution is to be extracted using pure water as the
    extracting agent. The extraction is to be performed in two stages, using 25 lb. of fresh water for
    each stage. The raffinate layer from the first stage is treated by the fresh water in the second
    stage. The extraction takes place at 17 deg. C and the equilibrium equation Y=2.2X may be
    employed. Assuming toluene and water as immiscible, what would be the weight percent of
    acetaldehyde in a mixture of the extracts from the both stages if each of the extractions were
    theoretically perfect?
