A process off-gas flow contains 1,4 mol-% acetone, when the gas flow rate is 2,20 kmol/min. The acetone should be removed to achieve a concentration of 0,070 mol-% acetone in the outlet gas flow. The gas is washed with pure water with a flow rate 1,05 kmol/min. Calculate the acetone concentration (mol-%) of the spent washing liquid and the flow rate (mol/min) of acetone flowing from the gas phase to the aqueous phase

A liquid stream has a flow rate of 100 mol/min and contains 25 mol% Stanzium and 75 mol% water. Stanzium is foul and disgusting and nobody wants that stuff in their water, so an extraction process is used to purify the water. The liquid enters the extraction unit, as does 400 mol/min of a solvent stream, which contains 98 mol% hexane and 2 mol% Stanzium. The water and hexane are completely immiscible, though the Stanzium is soluble in both. The...

A countercurrent absorption column operating at 3 atm and 20 °C is used to scrub acetone from air into water. Separation is to be accomplished in 5 equilibrium stages. The total inlet gas flow rate is 100 kmol/h and contains 0.4 mol% acetone. The inlet liquid contains 0.01 mol% acetone. Outlet gas is 0.02 mol% acetone. Assume constant flow rates and note that the Henry’s law constant (H) for acetone in water at 20 °C is 1.186 atm/(mole fraction). Find...

We are absorbing hydrogen sulfide at 15°C into water. The entering water is pure. The feed gas contains 0.0012 mole frac hydrogen sulfide and we want to remove 97% of this in the water. The total gas flow rate is 10 kmol/h. The total liquid flow rate is 2000 kmol/h. Total pressure is 2.5 atm. You can assume that total liquid and gas flow rates are constant. Equilibrium data are in Table 12-1. a. Calculate the outlet gas and liquid...

Fresh apple juice contains 75% water flowing at a mass flow rate of 200 kg/h. The fresh juice is concentrated in an evaporation process. A portion of the fresh feed is bypassed to meet the evaporator maximum capacity. The bypass stream joins the evaporator outlet stream. Ninety percent of the water entering the evaporator is evaporated. The concentrated apple juice contains 25% water. Draw the process flow sheet and calculate the mass flow rates of produced and evaporated streams. provide...

A gas stream contains 40 mol% n-hexane in nitrogen (N2) and flows at 6600 L/min, 60◦C, and 1 atm from a soybean oil extraction process. You are to use a condenser to liquefy and recover nhexane to recycle back to the oil extraction process. The current process specifications call for the condenser to operate at 15◦C. A liquid condensate stream is produced that is in equilibrium with the exiting gas stream. (a) (15) Perform a degree-of-freedom (DoF) analysis to demonstrate...
