Q6: consider a separation train consisting of two distillation columns which are designed to separate a 3-component mixture (benzene(B), toluene(T), xylene(X)). Given a feed rate of 1000mol/hr of mixture consisting of 20% benzene, 30% toluene and the balance xylene by mole. A bottom of the first column product of 2.5%benzene and 35%toluene and balance xylene by mole. A top stream of the second column product of 8% benzene and 72% toluene and balance xylene by mole. Determine all unknown in the process. В T X +T X T Distillation column 2 Distillation column 1
