Chapter 6, Problem 6.37P
In the ?nal stage of the manufacturing process fora solid organic product, the product is cleaned with liquid toluene and then dried in a process whose ?owchart is shown on the next page.“
The wet product enters the dryer at a rate of 300 lbm/ h containing 0.200 lbm toluene/lbm dry solids. A stream of nitrogen at 200°F, 1.2 atm, and containing a small amount of toluene vapor also enters the dryer. (A higher temperature would cause the product to soften and degrade.) Heat is transferred in the dryer from the gas to the wet solids, causing most of the toluene to evaporate. The ?nal product contains 0.020 lbm toluene/lbm dry solids. Gas leaves the dryer at 150°F and 1.2 atm with a relative sanitation of 70% and passes through a water-cooled condenser. Gas and liquid streams leave the condenser in equilibrium at 90°F and 1 atm. The gas is reheated to 200°F and reenters the dryer.
(a) Brie?y explain this process in your own words. In your explanation, include the purposes of the condenser and the nitrogen reheater and a likely reason that nitrogen rather than air is used as the recirculating gas. What do you suppose happens to the liquid toluene leaving the condenser?
(b) Calculate the compositions (component mole fractions) of the gas streams entering and leaving the dryer, the circulation rate of dry nitrogen (lbm/h), and the volumetric ?ow rate of gas entering the dryer (ft3/h).
(c) Explain why the actual process has a small make-up nitrogen stream blended with the feed to the blower.

Black ash is to be fedto a tube mill at 100 tonnes per day, together with the overflow from thesecond of a cascade of thickeners, and the effluent from the mill is fed tothe first thickener. All the barium is dissolved in the mill. The strongsolution leaving the first thickener contains 20% w/w BaS by weight.Each thickener delivers a sludge with 1.5 kg liquid per kg of insolublesolid.

A stream of banana (whose components are fruit, peel, and moisture) is fed to a peeler, where 99.9% of the peel is removed. This stream should become pulp, so it is mixed with an additive Q to avoid pulp oxidation. This mixture is then sent to an extruder press wherein a stream of a 50:50 mixture of additives Q and R is added. The resulting flow of 30 kg/h has a composition of 2% additive R and 5% additive Q. This flow is then fed to an agitated mixer. To the same mixer is fed a dairy stream of 250 kg/h that contains 70% milk (the rest is water) and a sweet aqueous stream that contains 30% sugar. For each 25 kg/h of dairy flow, 2 kg/h of the sweet flow is fed. The stream that leaves the agitated mixer has 5% fruit and 0.005% peel and enters a series of two thermal processes in which each operation allows 5% of the water and 2% of the milk to evaporate.

Introduction NaBH4 OH C=0 H benzophenone diphenylmethanol Ketones are readily reduced to secondary alcohols by reaction with sodium borohydride. The aim of this experiment is to determine the time required to effect the complete conversion of the ketone, benzophenone to diphenylmethanol at room temperature. This investigation may be achieved by isolating and analyzing the reaction product after different reduction times. Infrared spectroscopy affords a convenient method of analysis; by comparing the IR spectrum of the crude reaction product at different time intervals one would expect to see the intensity of the hydroxyl absorption peak increase relative to that of the original carbonyl peak. From this you can deduce the optimum time for the reduction process at room temperature. Procedure Note the "reduction time" that the demonstrator assigns to your group.
