3 Sample problems and eercises Distillation Sample problems Sample : Calculating vapor phase composition for immiscible liquids Calculate the equilibrium vapor phase composition of a liquid heane water miture at 5 C, assuming that heane and water are completely immiscible. The vapor pressures of the pure components can be described by the Antoine equation: B log p A. T C The constants A, B and C are given for p [torr] and T [ C]. Their values are as follows: Solution Heane A 6,8724 8,73 B 68,72 73,63 C 224,2 233,426 Water When there are more than one components in a miture, they are indeed according their volatility. The most volatile compound (owning the lowest boiling point at a given pressure) gets the inde. Thus in this problem heane is the compound, the less volatile water is the compound 2. In the case of a miture of only two components, indees are normally not used, but all concentrations are given for the more volatile compound, in this case heane. These two liquids are immiscible, thus the vapour pressure is the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components, calculated by the Antoine equations: p B A T C 6, C torr p 2 B2 A2 T C 8, C torr The sum of the tensions gives the total pressure (if the liquid miture is boiling): P p p torr 92.3 torr torr 6638Pa 66 kpa. If we wish to change the torr to Pa: torr = Hgmm = Pa, thus 76 torr = 325 Pa = atm. Molar fraction of heane in the vapor phase above the liquid miture can be calculated by the Dalton law: p 45.6 torr y.85. P torr Molar fraction of the water in the vapor phase: y y Sample 2: Calculating boiling point and vapor phase composition for immiscible liquids Determine the boiling point and vapor phase composition of a water toluene miture at atmospheric pressure (P = 76 torr), assuming the complete immiscibility of the components! The Antoine constants of the pure components (given for p [torr] and T [ C]) are: 3

4 Solution Water A B C Toluene Water is the more volatile component, thus al molar compositions without indeing are given for the water content. These two liquids are immiscible, thus the vapour pressure is the sum of the tension of the individual components, calculated by the Antoine equations. The miture starts boiling, when the sum of the vapor pressures equals to the given (atmospheric) pressure. Let s calculate the vapor pressures of the individual components with the Antoine equations! We need to look for the temperature when the sum of the vapor pressures are eactly equal to the atmospheric pressure. It is the boiling temperature of the toluene water miture. It is easier to determine the eact temperature, if we calculate the values also for the (76-p ) formula at each temperatures, and plot the 76-p and p 2 values as functions of the temperature in a common diagram as shown in Fig.. Intersection of the two curves gives the temperature of boiling. T [ C] p [torr] p 2 [torr] p +p 2 [torr] 76-p [torr]

5 Fig.. Determination of the boiling temperature at the atmospheric distillation of two immiscible liquids. The boiling point read from the diagram is 87.7 C. At this temperature value the vapor pressures of the liquids are: p 87.7C torr, 2 B A T C B2 A2 T C p 87.7C torr. Sum of the two values is almost equal to the atmospheric pressure: 2 p p 48.9 torr torr torr 76 torr. Molar fraction of water in the vapor phase according to Dalton s law: p 48.9 torr y.635. P torr Molar fraction of toluene in the vapor phase: y y More eact results might be obtained by iteration or if we solve the equations numerically. Note, that the boiling point of a miture of water and another liquid immiscible with water is always at a lower temperature than C. This makes the steam distillation viable. Sample 3: Continuous distillation / Flash distillation Flash distillation is used to evaporate half of a 4 mole% benzene toluene miture. 5

6 a) What is the composition of the resulting distillate and residue? b) By changing the amount of evaporated miture, what is the maimum possible benzene content of the distillate? c) By changing the amount of evaporated miture, what is the maimum possible toluene content of the residue? Solution a) What is the composition of the resulting distillate and residue? Component balance: F F L V y. Since 5% of the feed is evaporated:.5 F = L = V. Let s substitute it into the component balance equation: F F L V y.5 F. 5 Fy, F.5. 5y. By taking into account that F =.4, we end up in an equation of a linear: y, F.8 y y. 8. We know, that the vapor and liquid products of a flash distillation are in equilibrium, thus the liquid composition and vapour composition y values correspond to the coordinates of one single point of the equilibrium curve. We also derived from the balance equations that y, 8. The intersection of this linear funcition and of the equilibrium curve gives the operation point of this flash disitillation as shown in Fig 2. The equilibrium curve was drawn using the method described in the Appendi. 6

8 Fig. 3. Possible working intervals of a flash disitillation (sample 3. b, c) c) By changing the amount of evaporated miture, what is the maimum possible toluene content of the residue? Maimum toluene content is obtained in the liquid product when almost the total feed is evaporated.. The min value can be read from Fig. 3.: min.22, thus maimal toluene content is: -.22 =.78.

(Answer: NTU upper = 6.78, NTU lower = 8.7, D = 2.22 kmol/h, HTU upper =. m, HTU lower =. m) Appendi Antoine constants The constants in the Antoine equation are determined by phase equilibrium measurements. When creating equilibrium diagrams using the Antoine equation and applying Raoult s and Dalton s laws, always consider the following: Raoult s and Dalton s laws can only be applied to ideal mitures. While during distillation, the gas phase can usually be considered ideal (Dalton s law is applicable), the liquid phase is often non-ideal (Raoult s law is not necessarily applicable). Thus, the method of calculation cannot be used to construct the equilibrium diagram of non-ideal mitures. Mitures with an azeotropic point are eamples of highly non-ideal mitures. The calculation method detailed below can be used for nearly ideal solutions: Using the Antoine equation, calculate the vapor pressures of the pure components at different temperatures, distributed evenly in the interval between the boiling points of the pure components. The boiling point of a pure component at a given pressure can also be calculated from the Antoine equation: p B A T C. Assuming that the vapor space contains only the vapors of the two components, the given total pressure can be epressed as the sum of the partial pressures: P p p2. If Raoult s law is applicable, then there is an eplicit relationship between partial pressure and the liquid phase mole fraction (inde refers to the more volatile component): p and p2 p 2. p From these equations, for a given total pressure, the mole fraction of the more volatile compound can P p2 be epressed at each chosen temperature:. p p Dalton s law also applies, thus the vapor phase mole fraction of the more volatile compound can be p p epressed: y. P P 2 9

20 The Antoine constants of pure components, found in databases and in literature describe the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature only in a certain pressure and temperature interval. Outside this interval, they cannot be used, or yield unreliable results. The Antoine constants have no dimensions themselves, but the units in which temperature must be substituted (K, C, F) and the units in which the calculated pressure is obtained (torr, Pa, bar stb.) is always specified. Antoine constants specified for different units can be converted among each other, based on the conversion factors of different units of pressure: pascal (Pa N/m 2 ) or bar (bar) technical atmosphere (at or kp/cm 2 ) physical atmosphere (atm) (torr) and (Hgmm) pounds square (psi) Pa bar at atm torr psi lbf/in² per inch The following eample demonstrates converting Antoine constants specified in Hgmm and C into Antoine constants specified in Pa and K: p BHgmm, C AHgmm, C T C CHgmm, C Hgmm p Pa /33,322 Pa Hgmm A Hgmm, C A A Hgmm, C Hgmm, C B T C C log log Hgmm, C Hgmm, C 33,322 33,322 log p Pa/33,322 log p Pa B T K 273,5K thus: A 33,322 B Hgmm, C Hgmm, C C Hgmm, C log 33,322 log A p Pa/33,322 log p Pa Pa,K Pa,K T K 273,5K CHgmm, C T K CPa, K A Pa, K Hgmm, C log, B Pa, K BHgmm, C és C Pa, K CHgmm, C 273,5K.
