To increase the yield of the crystallization step, methanol is added to the system. An aqueous solution containing 27wt% L-serine is added with methanol to a batch crystallizer and cooled to 10oC. The crystals are then recovered by filtration. Draw a flowchart for this process showing the key unit operations with appropriate stream labels and composition.arrow_forward) Separation processes are essential in chemical engineering. A typical chemical plant is a chemical reactor surrounded by separators where raw materials are pre purified using relevant tools and techniques and then fed to the chemical reactor; unreacted feed is separated from the reaction products and recycled to the reactor. Sometimes products and by products must be further separated and purified before they can be sold. (a) You are required to describe how the following unit operations can be used for separation in the chemical process industry. (i) Chromatography (ii) Ion Exchange (iii) Strippingarrow_forward

In one set up, a liquid mixture containing 21.25% benzene, 29.80% toluene, and the balance xylene is fed to the first distillation column. The first bottoms contain 96.77% xylene and no benzene. The distillate of the first column is fed to the second column, and the second distillate recovered 93.84% of the benzene fed into the second column. Furthermore, analysis shows that the second distillate is composed of 93.15% benzene and no xylene. The bottoms stream of the second distillation column does not contain xylene. Determine the percent toluene lost in the whole system. Toluene is lost in the bottom product of the first column and on the distilalte of the second column. Type your answer in %, 2 decimal places. Do not include the % sign in the box.arrow_forward
