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

What is the dropped down number in a chemical formula that tells the number of atoms of a particular element? *
densk [106]
The lack of a number preceding the carbon symbol C and the compound formula CO2 shows that there is one carbon atom and one carbon dioxide molecule. Subscript numbers in chemical formulas represent the number of atoms or molecules immediately preceding the subscript.
