Problem#1
Afeedmixtureofbenzene(B),toluene(T),xylene(X),andcumene(C)istobeseparatedina distillation column. Feed rate is 200 moles/hr. Feed concentrations are zB=0.2, zT=0.3, zX=0.1, zC=0.4. The feed enters as a twophase mixture that is 30% vapour. The column has a partial reboilerandatotalcondenser.Feedisreturnedtothecolumnfromthecondenserasasaturated liquid. The specifications require that 99.8% of the cumene be recovered in the bottoms and 99.5% of the toluene be recovered in the distillate. The equilibrium data can be presented by constantrelativevolatilities.Wehavedecidedtooperateattotalreflux.Whatistherecoveryof xyleneinthedistillate?Choosingtolueneasthereference,therelativevolatilitiesarebenzene, 2.25toluene,1.00xylene,0.330cumene,0.210.
