An evaporation–crystallization process of the type described in Example 4.5-2 is used to obtain solid potassium sulfate from an

aqueous solution of this salt. The fresh feed to the process contains 19.6 wt% K2SO4. The wet filter cake consists of solid K2SO4 crystals and a 40.0 wt% K2SO4 solution, in a ratio 10 kg crystals/kg solution. The filtrate, also a 40.0% solution, is recycled to join the fresh feed. Of the water fed to the evaporator, 45.0% is evaporated. The evaporator has a maximum capacity of 175 kg water evaporated/s.Calculate the maximum production rate of solid K2SO4, the rate at which fresh feed must be supplied to achieve this production rate.

Answer:

feed = 220.77 kg/s; maximum production rate of solid crystal = 416 kg/s; the rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate = 1.6

Explanation:

Material or mass balance can be used to estimate the mass flow rates of all the streams in the diagram shown in the attached file.

Overall balance: M_{1} = 175 + 11M_{2}

Water: 0.804M_{1} = 175 + 0.6M_{2}

Using substitution method, we have:

M_{1} = 220.77 kg/s

M_{2}  = 4.16 kg/s

The maximum production rate of solid crystal is 10M_{2} = 10*4.16 = 416 kg/s

Around evaporator:

0.45M_{5} = 175

M_{5} = 175/0.45 = 389 kg/s

Around the mixing point:

M_{1} + M_{3} = M_{4} + M_{5}

Solid crystal: 0.196M_{1} + 0.4M_{3} = M_{4}

Using the last two equations, we can obtain:

0.804M_{1} + 0.6M_{3} = M_{5}

0.6M_{3} = 389 - 0.804*220.77 = 389 - 177.5 = 211.5

M_{3} = 211.5/0.6 = 352.5 kg/s

The rate of supplying fresh feed to obtain the production rate is:

\frac{M_{3}}{M_{1}} = 352.5/220.77 = 1.6

<u>0.4 mol of </u>O_3 molecules has larger mass than 0.4 mol of O atoms

<h3>What are molecules?</h3>

The smallest component of a substance that possesses both its chemical and physical characteristics. One or more atoms make up molecules.

They may have the same atoms (for example, an oxygen molecule has two oxygen atoms) or different atoms if they have more than one (a water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom). Biological molecules like DNA and proteins can include thousands of atoms.

the lowest recognised unit into which a pure material can be divided while retaining its chemical makeup and attributes is made up of two or more atoms.
