CHE4001 Slno 9 File 1 PDF

A continuous rectifying column separates a feed containing 40% benzene and 60% toluene into a distillate of 97% benzene and a waste of 98% toluene at a rate of 4 kg/s. With a reflux ratio of 3.5 to 1, the number of plates required is calculated. The feed tray location and actual number of plates with 60% efficiency are also determined.

A continuous rectifying column treats a mixture consisting of

vi
40% of benzene by mass and 60% of toluene at the rate of 4

ed
kg/s, and separates it into a product containing 97% of benzene

ar
and a liquid containing 98% toluene. The feed is liquid at its

sh
boiling point.

as
a) Calculate the masses of distillate and waste liquor per unit

time.

m e
b) If a reflux ratio of 3.5 to 1 is employed, how many plates are

co rc
required in the rectifying part of the column?
c) Locate the feed tray. o. ou
er res
d) What is the actual number of plates if the plate efficiency if
60%.
