Question
A gas stream contains 40 mol% isopropanol in air and flows at 240 mol/min, 70°C, and 1 atm. You are to use a condenser operating at a lower temperature to liquefy and recover isopropanol for reuse in the process.
(A) Assume the air dissolved in the liquid stream is negligible. If the condenser cool the gas stream to 25°C and produces a liquid condensate stream that is in equilibrium with the exiting gas stream, what is the mole percent recovery of isopropanol?
(B) Now if you aim at recovering 98% of the isopropanol, at what temperature should the condenser operate? Still assume the air dissolved in the liquid stream is negligible.
(C) Then you want to take into account of the impact of the air dissolved in the liquid stream on the isopropanol recovery. How does the isopropanol recovery at 25°C compare with the previous results in (A) if considering the air dissolved in the liquid stream?
