An aqueous acetone solution is fed at a rate of 32.0 lbm/h to a stirred tank. A stream of pure methyl isobutyl ketone is also fed to the tank, and the resulting mixture is sent to a settler operating at 25°C. One of the phases formed has a flow rate of 41.0 lbm/h and contains 70 wt% MIBK. Use Figure 6.6−1to determine the flow rate and composition of the second product stream and the rate at which MIBK is fed to the unit.

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.arrow_forwardA mixture of phenol and water, under certain conditions of temperature and composition, forms two separate liquid phases, one rich in phenol and the other rich in water. At 30⁰ the compositions of the upper and lower layers are 70% and 9% by mass phenol, respectively. If 40kg of phenol and 60kg of water are mixed and the layers are allowed to separate at 30⁰C, what will be the weight of the two layers?arrow_forward

- L-Serine is an amino acid important for its roles in synthesizing other amino acids and for its use in intravenous feeding solutions. It is often synthesized commercially by fermentation, and recovered by subjecting the fermentation broth to several processing steps and then crystallizing the serine from an aqueous solution. The solubilities of L-serine (L-Ser) in water have been measured at several temperatures, producing the following data:5T(K) 283.4 285.9 289.3 299.1 316.0 317.8 322.9 327.1x(mole fraction L-Ser) 0.0400 0.0426 0.0523 0.0702 0.1091 0.1144 0.1181 0.1248One of the ways such data can be represented is with the van’t Hoff equation: ln x =( a=T b).Graph the data so that the resulting plot is linear.
