Binary Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for C3 Hydrocarbons* By Binary Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for C3 Hydrocarbons* by ToshikatsuHakuta**, KunioNagahama**, and MitsuhoHirata** Summary: High-purity propylenefeedstock is required for manufacture of polypropylene. Accurate vapor-liquid equilibrium data of C3 hydrocarbonsare essentialfor the determination of fractionation requirementsto obtain high-purity propylenefrom a C3 hydrocarbonmixture. The apparatus used in this investigationwas a modificationof theforced-circulation type. It has been stated by Ruhemann1)that this type of apparatus is the most accurate and reliable of all low temperature method. Binary vapor-liquid equilibrium relationships for the propylenepropane, propylene- propadiene(allene) and propane-propadienesystems were determinedat isothermal conditionsof 0℃ and 20.1℃. In these three binary mixtures, the propanepropadiene systemforms a minimum boiling azeotropic mixture. Azeotropic conditionswere determinedusing a smoothingmethod proposed by Suda2)which was basedon a simplerelation in vapor-liquidequilibrium ratio of the constituents. 1 Introduction a minimum purity of 99%.

  • Distillation Theory
    Chapter 2 Distillation Theory by Ivar J. Halvorsen and Sigurd Skogestad Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Chemical Engineering 7491 Trondheim, Norway This is a revised version of an article published in the Encyclopedia of Separation Science by Aca- demic Press Ltd. (2000). The article gives some of the basics of distillation theory and its purpose is to provide basic understanding and some tools for simple hand calculations of distillation col- umns. The methods presented here can be used to obtain simple estimates and to check more rigorous computations. NTNU Dr. ing. Thesis 2001:43 Ivar J. Halvorsen 28 2.1 Introduction Distillation is a very old separation technology for separating liquid mixtures that can be traced back to the chemists in Alexandria in the first century A.D. Today distillation is the most important industrial separation technology. It is particu- larly well suited for high purity separations since any degree of separation can be obtained with a fixed energy consumption by increasing the number of equilib- rium stages. To describe the degree of separation between two components in a column or in a column section, we introduce the separation factor: ()⁄ xL xH S = ------------------------T (2.1) ()x ⁄ x L H B where x denotes mole fraction of a component, subscript L denotes light compo- nent, H heavy component, T denotes the top of the section, and B the bottom. It is relatively straightforward to derive models of distillation columns based on almost any degree of detail, and also to use such models to simulate the behaviour on a computer.

Substances that differ in volatility appear in different proportions in vapor and liquid phases at equilibrium with one another. Thus, vaporizing part of a volatile liquid produces vapor and liquid products that differ in composition. This outcome constitutes a separation among the components in the original liquid. Through appropriate configurations of repeated vapor­liquid contactings, the degree of separation among components differing in volatility can be increased manyfold. See also: Phase equilibrium (/content/phase­equilibrium/505500) Distillation is by far the most common method of separation in the petroleum, natural gas, and petrochemical industries. Its many applications in other industries include air fractionation, solvent recovery and recycling, separation of light isotopes such as hydrogen and deuterium, and production of alcoholic beverages, flavors, fatty acids, and food oils.

  • Minimum Reflux Ratio
    Chapter 4 Total Reflux and Minimum Reflux Ratio a. Total Reflux . In design problems, the desired separation is specified and a column is designed to achieve this separation. In addition to the column pressure, feed conditions, and reflux temperature, four additional variables must be specified. Specified Variables Designer Calculates Case A D, B: distillate and bottoms flow rates 1. xD QR, QC: heating and cooling loads 2. xB N: number of stages, Nfeed : optimum feed plate 3. External reflux ratio L0/D DC: column diameter 4. Use optimum feed plate xD, xB = mole fraction of more volatile component A in distillate and bottoms, respectively The number of theoretical stages depends on the reflux ratio R = L0/D. As R increases, the products from the column will reduce. There will be fewer equilibrium stages needed since the operating line will be further away from the equilibrium curve. The upper limit of the reflux ratio is total reflux, or R = ∞. The rectifying operating line is given as R 1 yn+1 = xn + xD R +1 R +1 When R = ∞, the slop of this line becomes 1 and the operating lines of both sections of the column coincide with the 45 o line. In practice the total reflux condition can be achieved by reducing the flow rates of all the feed and the products to zero. The number of trays required for the specified separation is the minimum which can be obtained by stepping off the trays from the distillate to the bottoms.

  • Effect of Pressure on Distillation Separation Operation
    Solutions for R&D to Design PreFEED Effect of Pressure on Distillation Separation Operation April 30, 2012 PreFEED Corporation Hiromasa Taguchi Solutions for R&D to Design 1 PreFEED Introduction Generally, it is known that, for distillation, separation tends to be enhanced by lower pressures. For two components, the ease of distillation separation can be judged from the value of the relative volatility (α). Here, we will take typical substances as examples and examine the effect of pressure changes on their relative volatilities. Solutions for R&D to Design 2 PreFEED Ideal Solution System The relative volatility (α) is a ratio of vapor-liquid equilibrium ratios and can be expressed by the following equation: K1 y1 y2 K1 , K2 K2 x1 x2 In the case of an ideal solution system , using Raoult’s law, the relative volatility can be expressed as a ratio of vapor pressures.

    Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 Help us provide free content to the world by donating today ! Acid dissociation constant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An acid dissociation constant (aka acidity constant, acid-ionization constant) is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid. It is denoted by Ka. For an equilibrium between a generic acid, HA, and − its conjugate base, A , The weak acid acetic acid donates a proton to water in an equilibrium reaction to give the acetate ion and − + HA A + H the hydronium ion. Key: Hydrogen is white, oxygen is red, carbon is gray. Lines are chemical bonds. K is defined, subject to certain conditions, as a where [HA], [A−] and [H+] are equilibrium concentrations of the reactants. The term acid dissociation constant is also used for pKa, which is equal to −log 10 Ka. The term pKb is used in relation to bases, though pKb has faded from modern use due to the easy relationship available between the strength of an acid and the strength of its conjugate base. Though discussions of this topic typically assume water as the solvent, particularly at introductory levels, the Brønsted–Lowry acid-base theory is versatile enough that acidic behavior can now be characterized even in non-aqueous solutions. The value of pK indicates the strength of an acid: the larger the value the weaker the acid. In aqueous a solution, simple acids are partially dissociated to an appreciable extent in in the pH range pK ± 2. The a actual extent of the dissociation can be calculated if the acid concentration and pH are known.

Introduction Pesticides play an important role in maintaining agricultural productivity, but they may also be causes of contamination of air, water, soil, and food, with possible adverse effects on human and animal health. The proper use of pesticide chemicals must be based on an understanding of the behavior of the chemicals as they interact with air, water, soil, and biota, react or degrade, and migrate. This behavior is strongly influenced by the chemicals' physical- chemical properties of solubility in water, vapor pressure or volatility, and tendency to sorb to organic and mineral matter in the soil. Reviews of such physical-chemical properties have been compiled by Kenaga (1980), Kenaga and Goring (1980), Briggs (1981), and Bowman and Sans (1983) for aqueous solubility, octanol-water partition coefficient, bio- accumulation, and soil sorption; Spencer and Cliath (1970, 1973. 1983). and Spencer (1976) for vapor pressure and volatilization from soil.

  • A Study of the Reversing of Relative Volatilities by Extractive Distillation
    A study of the reversing of relative volatilities by extractive distillation by An-I Yeh A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering Montana State University © Copyright by An-I Yeh (1986) Abstract: The separation of the close-boiling mixture, m-xylene-o-xylene; three binary azeotropes: ethanol-water, methyl acetate-methanol, acetone-methanol, and four ternary azeotropes: n-propyl acetate-n-propanol-water, isopropyl acetate-isopropanol-water, n—butyl acetate-n- butanol-water, isobutyl acetate-isobutanol-water has been enhanced by extractive distillation. The azeotropes have been negated and the relative volatilities of key components have been reversed by the agents used. The plot of polar interaction versus hydrogen bonding, called polarity diagram, was used to compare the affinity of agents for key components. Thus the key component which will be the overhead product can be predicted. The three solubility parameters were used to describe the intermolecular forces occurring between agents and key components in extractive distillation. The MOSCED model was used to calculate the activity coefficients of the key components using the properties of the pure compounds. The calculated values fitted the experimental data well. The advantage of this model was to calculate the. relative volatilities of key components in the presence of the agent using the properties of pure compounds instead of using the properties of mixtures. Temperature inversion, where the overhead temperature was higher than the stillpot temperature, was observed for the acetone-methanol system when ketones were used as the agents. The data showed that the temperature inversion could be caused by the dissolving of the vapor of key components in the liquid agents.
