8) An evaporator system concentrating weak liquor from 5% to 50% solids, handles 100 kg
of solids per hour. If the same system is to concentrate a weak liquor from 4% to 35%. Find the
capacity of the system in terms of solids that can be handled per hour assuming water evaporating
capacity to be same in both cases

9) An evaporator is fed with a solution containing 10% NaOH, NaCl and rest water. During
evaporation water is removed and NaCl precipitates out as crystals, which are settled and removed.
The liqour leaving the evaporator contains 50% NaOH, 20% NaCl and the rest water. Calculate
the feed required for the production of 1000 kg/hr of crystalline NaCl.

10) 1000 kg of sodium carbonate solution containing 25% Na2CO3 is subjected to evaporative
cooling where 15% of water is lost. From concentrated solution Na2CO3.10H2O (having
solubility of 21.5 g/100 g water) crystallizes out. Calculate the amount of crystals formed and
mother liquor.
