Below is a ternary liquid phase diagram containing propionic acid and water at 70:30 mass ratio is fed to a mixer at 3.181 kg/s with pure cyclohexane as solvent.
What is the flow rate of the pure cyclohexane (solvent) in order to attain 30:70 mass ratio of solute and solvent in the extract (solvent-rich) stream?

- 5-24. Small amounts of an inorganic salt contained in an organic fluid stream can be removed by contacting the stream with pure water as illustrated in Figure 5.24. The process requires that the organic and aqueous streams be contacted in a mixer that provides a large surface area for mass transfer, and then separated in a settler. If the mixer is efficient, the two phases will be in equilibrium as they leave the settler and you are to assume that this is the case for this problem. You are given the following information: a) Organic stream flow rate: 1000 lbm/min b) Specific gravity of the organic fluid: 0.87 Porg PH20 11 c) Salt concentration in the organic stream entering the mixer: (cA)org 0.0005 mol/L org d) Equilibrium relation for the inorganic salt: (corg = Keg.A (CA)ag where Keg 1/60 Here (cAag represents the salt concentration in the aqueous phase that is in equilibrium with the salt In this problem you are asked to determine the mass flow rates concentration in the organic…arrow_forwardA long glass capillary with a diameter of 0.1 cm is in contact with water on one side and dry air on the other.

- A continuous distillation column is operating at steady state to purify alcohol from a mixture of water and alcohol. Addition of salt breaks the azeotrope and allows for more pure alcohol. Liquid containing, by mass, 55% isopropanol, 8% salt and the rest water, is fed to the column. The vapor product stream (distillate) at the top of the column flows at the same mass flow rate as the bottom liquid stream (bottoms). The vapor product stream contains 80% isopropanol and no salt.a. Define azeotrope and explain why adding salt allows removal of more water from alcohol.b. Draw and label a flowchart. Do degree of freedom analysis to see if all unknowns can be solved.c. Calculate the mass fraction of salt in the bottoms.d. Calculate the fraction of isopropanol from the feed that is in the bottoms (kg IPA in bottoms/kg IPA in feed).arrow_forward2.3 Kg/s of solid containing 0.55 Kg/s soluble material is to be washed with 2.8 Kg/s pure solvent in a counter – current unit .
