Distillation
1. Experimental Objective (5 pts)
In this experiment, a 10 wt% ethanol-water solution is separated through binary
distillation to observe how the reflux ratio and reboiler temperature influences the quality
of both the bottom and distillate streams.
This quality is determined by the compositions
of each stream. Experiment A will vary the reboiler temperatures while keeping the reflux
ratio constant to determine how each boil-up rate influences the column efficiency. For
Experiment B, the reboiler temperature will be kept constant while varying the reflux
ratio of the column to a constant value to change the distillate and bottom stream
compositions. Additionally, the McCabe-Thiele method will be used to determine the
equilibrium at each stage of the column.
2. Experimental
2.1 Apparatus (5 pts)
The Armfield Distillation Unit consists of a distillation column, a reboiler,
condenser, top and bottom collection tanks, a vacuum pump, and associated valves,
piping, and thermocouples (figures 1 and 2).
The column has nine stages, each with their
own thermocouple. The material to be distilled can be placed in the feed tanks and then
pumped to the column with a vacuum pump. There are valves to get samples of the top
and bottom products as well as a manometer to measure differential pressure between the
top and bottom of the column. The pump and heater are controlled by the circuit control
unit (figure 3). The control unit supplies power and also displays temperatures sensed by
the thermocouples. There is a computer with software used to log data (figure 4).

4. You noticed that during a lab-scale bioreactor run the tubing that pumps in a 1 M NaOH-
solution for pH correction has leaked a small amount. The fermentation has run fine, nothing
fell out of the spill tray since it was only a small leak, and it does not interfere with the
experimental results. But what actions do you take immediately, what are the safety
considerations and what could you do to prevent this happening in the next fermentation
run?
