A mixture containing 42 wt% benzene (B) and 58 wt% toluene (T) is fed to a distillation column at a flow rate of 100 kg per minute. The product steam leaving the top of the column (the overhead product) contains 90 wt% benzene and 85 wt% of the total benzene fed to the column exits in this overhead product stream. Calculate the mass flow rate and mass composition of the product stream leaving the bottom of the column. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the overhead product, assuming that it exits the distillation column as a vapour stream at 82C and 1 atm (abs). Physical Property Data (S.G.= specific gravity) from table B-1: Benzene S.G. = 0.879 MW = 78.11 g/mol Toluene S.G. = 0.866 MW = 92.13 g/mol Water Density = 1.00 kg/L MW = 18.02 g/mol R = 0.08206 L atm/mol K
Cereal is being dried in a vertical drier by air flowing countercurrent to the cereal. To prevent breakage of the cereal flakes, some of the exit air from the drier is recycled back to mix with the the moist fresh air. For each 1000 kg/hr of wet cereal fed to the drier, calculate the input of moist fresh air in kg/hr and recycle rate in kg/hr. The available data on stream compositions is (fractions): For water: Fresh air: 0.0132 Wet cereal: 0.200 Exit air: 0.263 Dried Cereal: 0.050 Air entering Dryer: 0.066
A solution containing 100 lbm KNO 3/100 lbm H 2O at 80°C is fed to a cooling crystallizer operated at 25°C. Slurry from the crystallizer (KNO3 crystals suspended in saturated solution) is fed to a filter, where the crystals are separated from the solution. Use the solubility data in Figure 6.5-1 to determine the production rate of crystals (lbm/lbm feed) and the solid-to-liquid mass ratio (lbm crystals/lbm liquid) in the slurry leaving the crystallizer.
A binary mixture with components A and B is to be separated in a distillation column to obtain 95 mol%. A as the top product. The binary mixture has a con stant relative volatility AB = 2. The column feed is a a - saturated liquid containing 50 mol % of A. Under the usual simplifying assumptions such as constant molal overflow, negligible heat loss, ideal trays, the mini mum reflux ratio for this separation is (rounded off to one decimal place)

An environmental study was performed to measure the transport of a DDT (a banned pesticide) throughout the globe. A lake in northern Canada was sampled to see if low levels of DDT were present there in spite of it not being administered within 1000 miles of that location. 1.000 L of the lake water was spiked with 100.0 uL of a 2.451 ug/L solution of tetrachlorobenzene, which acted as the internal standard. The entire 1.000 L spiked solution was concentrated onto an SPE column. After washing the SPE column with ~5 mL of pure water, the analyte and internal standard were eluted from the SPE column using ~5 mL of CH2Cl2 solvent. The eluted sample was evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to a final volume of 1.000 mL. 1 uL of this final solution was analyzed using GC-MS, and gave a signal of 24835 for DDT and 11597 for tetrachlorobenzene. To calculate the response factor, a standard solution was prepared consisting of 1.482 ug/L of DDT and 2.451 ug/L of tetrachlorobenzene.…
