2. A mixture of 60 wt% benzene, 35% toluene, and 5% naphthalene is being distilled. The distillate product should be 99.5 wt% benzene. Also, 99% of benzene fed should be recovered in the distillate, Determine/calculate: a. Distillate and bottom product flow rates (D and B) per 1 kg of feed b. compositions of distillate and bottom product c. fraction of toluene fed that is recovered in the bottom product

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a)  Distillate (D) = 0.597 kg

    Bottom product (B) = 0.403 kg

(b) Compositions of distillate  product:

     Benzene = 0.995

     Toluene = 0.05

   Compositions of bottom product:

    Benzene = 0.0149

    Naphthalene = 0.1241

    Toluene = 0.8610

(c) Fraction of toluene fed that is recovered in the bottom product = 99.14%
