Question: In a binary equilibrium distillation column, a saturated vapor feed containing 45% of the more volatile component (MVC) is to be separated into a distillate
In a binary equilibrium distillation column, a saturated vapor feed containing 45% of the more volatile component (MVC) is to be separated into a distillate (D) containing 90% of the MVC and a bottom product (W) containing 10% of the MVC. Consider a feed of 1 mol. For a reflux ratio of 2, and assuming constant molal overflow conditions, what are the liquid amounts (in mol) both above and below the feed stage of the operation? A full condenser is employed in this column.
