EXPERIMENT: EFFECT OF REGULATING REFLUX RATIO ON TOP PRODUCT COMPOSITION IN DISTILLATION PROCESS OBJECTIVES  : i) To perform stage distillation by separating ethanol and water on different tray ii) To study mass fraction for ethanol and water on different tray In summary, the fundamental procedure in distillation was performed clearly. The pure product of ethanol and water were collected on top product valve and bottom product valve respectively. The refractive index for ethanol and water were observed using the refractometer two times to obtain the reading for the first tray and forth tray.    QUESTION: PLEASE MAKE AN INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH BASED ON THIS EXPERIMENT.

EXPERIMENT: EFFECT OF REGULATING REFLUX RATIO ON TOP
PRODUCT COMPOSITION IN DISTILLATION PROCESS

OBJECTIVES  :

  1. i) To perform stage distillation by separating ethanol and water on different tray
  2. ii) To study mass fraction for ethanol and water on different tray

In summary, the fundamental procedure in distillation was performed clearly. The pure product of ethanol and water were collected on top product valve and bottom product valve respectively. The refractive index for ethanol and water were observed using the refractometer two times to obtain the reading for the first tray and forth tray.
