QUESTION 1 A continuous fractionating column is to be designed to separate 30,000 kg/h of a mixture of 40 percent benzene and 60 percent toluene into an overhead product containing 97 percent benzene and a bottom product containing 98 percent toluene. These percentages are by weight. A reflux ratio of 3.5 mol to 1 mol of product is to be used. The equilibrium data is shown in Table 11.1-1. The feed has a boiling point of 95°C at a pressure of 1 atm. (MW of benzene and toluene are 78 and 90 g/mol, respectively). TABLE 11.1-1.
