Transcribed Image Text:Recycle Waste Feed Purification Unit 10 mol% DMF Pure DMF
A purification system with recycle is used to recover the solvent dimethyl formamide
(DMF) from 24900 kgmol/h of a gas containing 52.3 mol% DMF in air. The purification
unit removed two-thirds of the DMF in the combined feed to the unit. The off gas has
only 10 mol% DMF in the waste stream. Calculate
(a) the amounts of product and waste stream.
(b) the amount of gas leaving the purification unit.
(c) the amount of recycle stream.
(d) the concentration of DMF in the combined feed to the purification unit.
