EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The main objective of this project was to carry out a design on the Propane distillation column for a process that produces 1‚3 Butadiene. The raw materials used are Butane‚ Oxygen and Water and the process capacity is 100 000 tonnes per annum nominal. In the previous work it was stated that the plant is located in China. The main location of the plant is in the capital city of the Gansu Provence‚ Lanzhou. This was decided as the location over other provinces due to the excellent

Comparing between the simple and fractional distillation‚ the fractional distillations for both n-propanol and acetone provided a better distillation. The data and graphs support the statement since the fractional graphs provided a steeper slope than the simple distillation. The steeper slope represent how fast the mixture are separated throughout the distillations. For example‚ the simple distillation for acetone the slope initially started at about 20 mL at about 65.5℃ and ended at about 30 mL

Mona Vaidya 02/04/2014 CHE 317 Laboratory Experiment #1: Simple Distillation of Two Volatile Liquids Containing Non-Volatile Impurities Introduction: Simple distillation is a commonly used method to separate and purify the mixtures of organic liquids into their original components. Mixtures of two miscible liquids with two different boiling points were separated. Therefore‚ it can be said that the two organic compounds are separated by exploiting the different boiling temperatures of the liquids

FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION *Ibale‚ I.‚ Ibanez‚ E.‚ Jao‚ E.‚ Joson‚ E.‚ Juanico‚ R. 2D Pharmacy‚ Faculty of Pharmacy‚ University of Santo Tomas Abstract Distillation is a commonly used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. The product obtained by distillation is called the distillate. Volatility is the property of changing readily from a solid or liquid to a vapor. There are two types of distillation‚ simple

then allowing toluene particles to separate in the later fractions when temperature is over 105 degrees Celsius. Lastly‚ it is concluded that fractional distillation is a more effective method as opposed to simple distillation because in fraction 7 of the simple‚ there was only around 36% toluene consumption versus a 96% in the fractional distillation. This is also due to the fact that using a fractionating column makes the samples more pure because it works better at separating the first couple of

In the experiment of distillation we separated two miscible liquids. The purpose of distillation is to identify and purify compounds. We began our experiment by setting up an apparatus for macroscale simple distillation. We used 60 ml of Cyclohexane/ Toluene. We began with the temperature at 50 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately‚ we reached an error when the compounds evaporated too rapidly. The compounds evaporated so quickly that we lost data from 2 ml to 13 ml. The heat was lowered and as a result

Questions: 1. One mole of a compound A‚ with vapor pressure 400mmHg at 50oC‚ mixed with 3 moles of compound B‚ with vapor pressure 480mmHg at 50oC to form a homogeneous solution. What is the vapor pressure of mixture at 50oC? XA =moles of A\total No. of moles XA =1\4 XB=3\4 Ptotal=PAoXA+PBoXB =400*1\4 + 480*3\4 = 460mmHg 2. Why should a distilling flask be filled not less than 1\3 filled or more than 2\3 full? This is to allow the liquid being heated room to expand as it turns

FRACTIONAL DISTILLATION October 29‚ 2012 CHEM 210 ME01 INTRODUCTION The process of separating the components of a mixture by distillation into relatively pure fractions is referred to as fractional distillation. Simple distillation‚ a process with similar goals‚ is noted for being a satisfactory attempt at separating two components in an ideal mixture‚ but not as accurate as fractional distillation. To explore these statements further‚ there needs to be an in depth look at the theory that

f Fractional Distillation of a Solution Results 1. On a single graph‚ plot boiling point versus volume of distillate curves for the two distillations of the cyclohexane/toluene solutions (one from the simple distillation experiment and one from the fractional distillation experiment). The graph is to be computer generated and presentation quality (e.g.‚ appropriately scaled and labeled axes‚ descriptive title‚ and discernable data points). The data points are to be connected with a smooth
