Question:

Design the plates for the column specified in Example 11.2. Take the minimum feed rate as 70 per cent of the maximum (maximum feed 10,000 kg/h). Use sieve plates.

Data from example 11.2

Acetone is to be recovered from an aqueous waste stream by continuous distillation. The feed contains 10 mol% acetone. Acetone of at least 95 mol% purity is wanted, and the aqueous effluent must not contain more than 1 mol% acetone. The feed will be a saturated liquid. Estimate the number of ideal stages required.
