A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and

1,2,3-trimethylbenzene. The feed, 40 mol% benzene, 30 mol% toluene, and 30 mol% 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, enters the column as a saturated vapor. We desire 95% recovery of the toluene in the distillate and 95% of the 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene in the bottoms. The reflux is returned as a saturated liquid, and constant molar overflow can be assumed. The column operates at a pressure of 1 atm. Find the number of equilibrium stages required at total reflux, and the recovery fraction of benzene in the distillate. Solutions of benzene, toluene, and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene are ideal.

Answer:

11.8.4 Distillation Columns

Distillation columns present a hazard in that they contain large inventories of flammable boiling liquid, usually under pressure. There are a number of situations which may lead to loss of containment of this liquid.

The conditions of operation of the equipment associated with the distillation column, particularly the reboiler and bottoms pump, are severe, so that failure is more probable.

The reduction of hazard in distillation columns by the limitation of inventory has been discussed above. A distillation column has a large input of heat at the reboiler and a large output at the condenser. If cooling at the condenser is lost, the column may suffer overpressure. It is necessary to protect against this by higher pressure design, relief valves, or HIPS. On the other hand, loss of steam at the reboiler can cause underpressure in the column. On columns operating at or near atmospheric pressure, full vacuum design, vacuum breakers, or inert gas injection is needed for protection. Deposition of flammable materials on packing surfaces has led to many fires on opening of distillation column for maintenance.

Another hazard is overpressure due to heat radiation from fire. Again pressure relief devices are required to provide protection.

The protection of distillation columns is one of the topics treated in detail in codes for pressure relief such as APIRP 521. Likewise, it is one of the principal applications of trip systems.

Another quite different hazard in a distillation column is the ingress of water. The rapid expansion of the water as it flashes to steam can create very damaging overpressures.

What is Alkaline and Acid in full definition​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The solution is neither acidic or basic. An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. ... Because the base "soaks up" hydrogen ions, the result is a solution with more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. This kind of solution is alkaline. Acidity and alkalinity are measured with a logarithmic scale called pH.

I am very confused, our teacher didn’t properly teach us this. How do you do it?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

You multiply the 3 numbers together to get your volume, in this case it would be 4058.488 cm^3 (cm cubed)

so

V: 4058.488cm^3 ( round up to 4058.5 for convenience)

M: 27579

D: ?

So we divide mass by the volume to get density, which is

27579 / 4058.5 = ~6.79536 (can round up to 7 or 6.8)

This graph can help a lot, so maybe try and memorize it, hope I helped.
