D16. An extractive distillation system (Figure 8-13) is separating ethanol from water using ethylene glycol as the solvent. The makeup solvent stream is pure ethylene glycol. The feed flow rate is 100.0 kmolh. The feed is 81.0mol% ethanol and 19.0mol% water. The ethanol product (column 1 distillate) is 99.70mol% ethanol, 0.02mol% ethylene glycol, and the remainder is water. The water product (column 2 distillate) should be 99.90mol% water, 0.035mol% ethylene glycol, and the remainder ethanol. Find the flow rates of the makeup solvent and the distillate from columns 1 and 2.
(Ans: D1=81.23kmolh,D2=18.96kmolh,M=0.023kmolh)
