Below are the table forseparation, distilation column in Xanthan Gum alcohol recoveryprocess. Help me find the xD and xB. The bottom flow rate, L is 166.76 kmol/h and distillate ,V is 94.45 kmol/h,the xanthan gum purity is 99 to 100. The feed mass are:Isopropyl alcohol, 10.02140 kg/h and mole flowrate is 166.760 kmol/h. Sodium chloride, mass flowrate is 5.52010 kg/h and mole flowrate is 94.450 kmol/h, for water, mass is 1.0185 kg/h and mole 56.53 kmol/h, last is glucose with mass 1.0269 kg/h and mole is 5.70 kmol/h. The flow in is Isopropyl and Sodium, the bottom flow out is water,glucose and sodium while the upper is isopropyl for alcohol recovery in Xanthan Gum production.
Do the water and glucose.
And for xD of sodium, glucose, and water will be 0.0000? Because the upper flow,xD is pure isopropyl right?
 Below are the table forseparation, distilation column in Xanthan Gum alcohol
