A100 mol/h of feed mixture with 20% pentane, 25% hexane, 30% heptane and 25% octane is to be distilled in a single column to an overall distillate product that contains no more than 2 mol/h of heptane and the bottom product that contains a maximum of 1.5 mol/h of hexane. Calculate the distillate and bottoms mole fraction, XDi and XBi, for all other components.

The feed stream to a distillation column is 40 mol-% n-pentane and 60 mol% n-hexane. Feed flow rate is 2500 mol/h and feed temperature is 30 °C. The column operates at 1 atm pressure and uses a total condenser. A distillate with 97 mol-% n-pentane is desired. Bottoms from the column should contain 98 mol-% n-hexane. Calculate both product flow rates

Consider a distillation column that receives a feed of 500 kg/min of a mixture of benzene and cyclohexane that is 55 mole % benzene. We wish to design the column so that the distillate has a composition that is 95 mole % benzene and contains 90 % of the benzene fed to the column.

Minimum number of trays 100 kmol/hr of a feed of 60% benzene and 40% heptane is to be separated by distillation. The distillate is to be 90% benzene and the bottoms 10% benzene. The feed enters the column as 30 mol% vapor. Use R 1.5 times the minimum. Assume a constant relative voltaility of (alpha) of 4 and that the pressure is constant throughout the column at 1atm.

Separation Process: Suppose a saturated liquid feed of a benzene (B)/toluene (T) mixture (50 mol% B) to a column is to be separated into a high purity distillate that is has a mole fraction of B equal to 0.9999 with a bottoms product mole fraction of 0.10. You may take the relative volatility to be aBT = 2.49 at the temperature that the column is operated. You are also given the reflux ratio to be 10.0, assuming a total condenser....

A distillation column has a feed of 100 kmol/h. The feed is 15 mol% heavy non-key, 35 mol% heavy key, and 50 mol% light key. The reflux ratio is 1.4 times the minimum. It is desired to have 99% recovery of the light key in the distillate. The mole fraction of light key in the distillate should be 0.85. Use the FUG approach to determine the number of ideal stages required. Equilibrium data: aLNK =3.5 aLK =1.5 aHK =0.85

A solution contains 49.0 g of heptane (C7H16)and 59.0 g of octane (C8H18) at 25 ∘C. The vapor pressures of pure heptane and pure octane at 25 ∘C are 45.8 torr and 10.9 torr, respectively. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate each of the following. (Note that the mole fraction of an individual gas component in an ideal gas mixture can be expressed in terms of the component's partial pressure.) A) The vapor pressure of heptane in the mixture B) The Vapor...

A mixture, F, of 620 lbmol/h of 46 mol% benzene (B) and 54 mol% toluene (T) is separated continuously into two products. One product, the distillate , is 98 mol% benzene. The other product, the bottoms , is 95 mol% toluene. Compute the flow rates of these two streams in: (a) lbmol/h, and (b) kmol/h. Calculate the fraction of the benzene fed to the unit that is recovered in the distillate.
