Question:

An evaporator is fed continuously with 25 t (metric tons)/h of a solution consisting of 10 percent NaOH, 10 percent NaCl, and 80 percent H2O. During evaporation, water is boiled off, and salt precipitates as crystals, which are settled and removed from the remaining liquor. The concentrated liquor leaving the evaporator contains 50 percent NaOH, 2 percent NaCl, and 48 percent H2O. Calculate 

(a) The kilograms of water evaporated per hour, 

(b) The kilograms of salt precipitated per hour, and 

(c) The kilograms of concentrated liquor produced per hour.
