Chapter 5, Problem 5.43P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The location in the column at which there will be greatest risk of liquid entrainment needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A distillation is a unit operation in which more volatile components are separated by using thermal energy to the column from top of the column and fewer volatile components are collected from the bottom of the column.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The minimum column diameter needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A distillation is a unit operation in which more volatile components are separated by using thermal energy to the column from top of the column and fewer volatile components are collected from the bottom of the column.

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

PV=nRTorn=PVRT

Here,

n=NumberofmolesP=PressureofgasV=VolumeofgasT=TemperatureR=Universalgasconstant

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The vapor velocities at top and bottom of column needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A distillation is a unit operation in which more volatile components are separated by using thermal energy to the column from top of the column and fewer volatile components are collected from the bottom of the column.

The Mathematical Formula to calculate area is as follows:

Anew=π4Dnew2

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

PV=nRTorn=PVRT

Here,

n=NumberofmolesP=PressureofgasV=VolumeofgasT=TemperatureR=Universalgasconstant

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The increasing the pressure in the column would allow the vapor flowrate to be doubled.

Concept introduction:

A distillation is a unit operation in which more volatile components are separated by using thermal energy to the column from top of the column and fewer volatile components are collected from the bottom of the column.

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

Fungal cells are cultured in a bioreactor using glucose (C6H12O6) as the carbon source andnitrate (NO3⁻) as the nitrogen source. The vessel is sparged with air. Biomass is the majorproduct formed; however, because the cells are subject to autolysis, significant levels of excretedby-products with the same molecular composition as the biomass are also produced.Elemental analysis of the fungal biomass gives a molecular formula of CH1.75O0.85N0.20, withnegligible ash. Yield measurements show that 0.28 g of intact fungal cells is produced per gramof glucose consumed, while 0.25 g of by-product is formed per gram of intact biomass.(a) If 8 kg of glucose is consumed per hour, at what rate must oxygen be provided to thereactor in units of mol min⁻¹?
Ginseng roots can be used to produce valuable secondary metabolites, particularlyginsenosides, in vitro. A batch culture of Panax ginseng roots is established in an air-drivenbioreactor to enhance ginsenoside production. The culture is maintained at 25°C with acontrolled nutrient supply. A nutrient medium containing 5% glucose and 2% NH₃ is preparedfor the culture, with the remainder of the medium considered water. Air at 25°C and 1 atmpressure is sparged into the reactor at a rate of 400 cm³ min⁻¹. Over a 30-day culture period,30,000 g of nutrient medium and 1000 liters of O₂ are supplied, while 300 liters of CO₂ arecollected in the off-gas. At the end of 30 days, 20,000 g of liquid medium remains, containing0.085% residual glucose and 1.6% dissolved NH₃. The ratio of fresh root weight to dry weight is10:1.(a) What dry mass of ginseng roots is produced in 30 days?(b) Write the reaction equation for ginseng root growth, indicating the approximatechemical formula for the roots,…
A biologically active protein produced in Escherichia coli fermentations is purified byprecipitation. A 200 L solution containing 5.2 wt% protein is treated in a batch precipitationreactor. 1 kg of salt is added to induce protein precipitation. At the end of the process, theremaining solution contains 1.5 wt% protein, and the precipitate is wet with 5wt% of water.(a) What is the mass of the residual protein solution?(b) What mass of protein precipitate is produced?Assume the density of the solution remains approximately 1.00 g/mL throughout the process,and that the concentration of salt in the water captured in the precipitate is the same as theconcentration of salt in total.
