Question: CASE 1 : Case 1 ( Extractor + Distillation ) Water has a high latent heat ( heat of vaporization ) compared to many other

CASE1: Case 1(Extractor + Distillation)
Water has a high latent heat (heat of vaporization) compared to many other components. For the separation of a water-acetone mixture (60 wt-
% and 40 wt%), it may be more energy efficient to use extraction instead of direct distillation. In this example, we compare direct distillation to extraction using 3-methylhexane as the solvent. please solve the all queastion and do the figur.
The feed stream enters to extraction column @ 25 oC and 1 bar with mass- flow rate 60 kg/hr for water and 40 kg/hr for acetone. Solvent(3- Methylhexane) feed stream enters to extraction column @ 30\deg C and 1 bar with the of 150 kg/hr. The temperature 30\deg C sufficient to separate because it is low enough for the extraction of acetone from the water phase to the solvent phase. The product streams of water (Bottom) and rich solution (Top) connected with extraction column. The number of stages used in the extraction column is 8 with adiabatic conditions. Use or move the 1st liquid phase is WATER and 2nd liquid phase is 3- Methylhexane as Key components. The extraction column operates at 1 bar and 25 oC (Stage 1). The rich solution (Top) stream is connected to distillation column?(Rec column) and the specifications of column as follows.
1. Equilibrium
2.50 stages
3. Partial vapour condenser
4. Kettle type reboiler.
5. Vapour- liquid- liquid phase
6. Distillate rate: 50 kg/hr
7. Reflux ratio: 1.5
8. Feed stage: 25
9. Stage1/ condenser pressure: 1 bar
10. Key component: 2nd Liquid Phase: water
The bottom product of distillation column connects to heater block with specifications of 30oC and 1 bar. The valid phases in heater balock is vapour- liquid- liquid.
Determine whether distillation or extraction is more energy intensive and by how much for separating a 60 wt-% acetone 40 wt-% water stream.
Use Property Package: UNIQ-RK CASE2: Case 1 Direct Distillation (Single Column- RadFrac)
The feed stream enters to redfrac column @ 25 oC and 1 bar with mass- flow rate 60 kg/hr for water and 40 kg/hr for acetone. Connect the outlet streams and the specifications of column as follows.
1. Equilibrium
2.50 stages
3. Partial vapour condenser
4. Kettle type reboiler.
5. Vapour- liquid phase
6. Convergence: Strongly non ideal liquid
7. Distillate rate: 50 kg/hr
8. Reflux ratio: 5
9. Feed stage: 48(above stage)
10. Stage1/ condenser pressure: 1 bar
