June 8th, 2024
We wish to use a simple batch distillation system with a still pot to separate methanol from water. The feed charge to the pot is 100 moles of a 75 mol% methanol mixture. We desire a final bottoms concentration off 55% methanol. Find the amount of distillate collected, the amount left in the still pot and the average concentration of the distillate.
