Question
A distillation column is fed 100 kmol/h of a saturated yapour feed (q=0) containing 40 mol % benzene and 60 mol % toluene at 101.32 kPa. The distillate contains 90 mol % benzene and the bottom contains 90 mol % toluene. The reflux ratio is 4. Calculate: (a) the molar flows of distillate D and bottoms W; (b) Number of plates required; (c) minimum reflux ratio; (d) minimum number of plates analytically if aAB (average) = 2.41. The equilibrium data are given as: 0 0.1 X 0.6 0.4 0.8 y 0 0.22 0.63 0.78 0.91 0.2 0.38
