An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide contains 20% NaOH by mass. It is desired to produce an 8% NaOH solution by diluting a stream of the 20% solution with a stream of pure water.
(a) Calculate the ratios (g H2O/g feed solution) and (g product solution/g feed solution).
(b) Determine the feed rates of 20% solution and diluting water needed to produce 2310 lb/min of the 8% solution.

First, a 320 mol/hr feed(Stream 1) of a mixture of 0.750 mole fraction ethanol (E) and 0.250 molefraction water (W) is fed to a distillation column. The extractive agent, benzene(B), is added to the distillation column in a mixture of 0.940 mole fractionbenzene and 0.060 mole fraction water (Stream2). This mixture consists offresh benzene (Stream 3) and the recycle stream of benzene and waterrecovered from the separator (Stream 4). The company wishes to produce a0.98 mole fraction ethanol (0.02 mole fraction benzene) product stream fromthe overhead of the distillation column (Stream 5). The bottoms product(Stream 6), containing just benzene and water, is sent to the separator. Thecomposition of the benzene/water mixture leaving the bottom of the separator(Stream 7) is 0.86 mole fraction benzene and the balance water. Some of thebottom stream leaving the separator is recycled (Stream 4) and added to thefresh benzene feed to the column…arrow_forward
