Submit Question 2.
1) A liquid feed at its bubble point is to be distilled in a tray tower to produce the distillate and bottoms
as follows:
Composition
Component
Feed Distillate Bottoms
A 0.047 0.1260 0
B 0.072 0.1913 0.001
C 0.881 0.6827 0.999
2) The feed to a conventional distillation column and the relative volatilities are shown in the table
below.
The recovery of component 2 in the distillate is 99 percent, and 98 percent of component 3 is to leave
in the bottoms. Calculate:
a) The amount and composition of distillate and bottoms products. State any assumptions made.
b) The minimum number of plates
c) Minimum reflux ratio if the feed is liquid at the bubble point
d) The number of plates required if a R = 1.3Rmin is to be used
e) The location of feed tray
