Steam Distillation - Principle, Applications with Images and FAQs

Q6: Consider a separation train consisting of two distillation columns which are designed to separate a 3-component mixture (benzene (B), toluene (T), xylene (X)). Given a feed rate of 1000 mol/hr of mixture consisting of 20% benzene, 30% toluene, and the balance xylene by mole: A bottom product of the first column is 2.5% benzene and 35% toluene, with the balance being xylene by mole. A top stream of the second column is 8% benzene and 72% toluene, with the balance being xylene by mole. Determi
