Q2/ A continuous distillation column is used to separate a feed mixture at its boiling point, containing 24 mole % acetone and 76 mole % methanol into a distillate product containing 77 mole % acetone and a residue product containing 5 mole % acetone. A reflux ratio of twice the minimum is to be used. The overall plate efficiency is 60%.
