50% naoh need to keep between 20% and 50%- NaOh purification of organic chemicals perin water wants to be in an ionic solution as opposed to organic solvents need to figure out how much pyridine is left in aqueous phase and how much is left in organic phase use CAS number for xylene given parameters for sizing o find any organic to use instead of pyridine Need to assume SF ratio and KD Seader Example pressure swing distillation water (polar) clusters around ions size settler residence time o decanters and settler pyridine is close to benzene and toluene pp. 773---Plant design book (design of decanter) xylene---activated carbon filter out 5 independent ternary diagrams ideal liquid, assume they are immiscible and simplify it down how to size a liq liq column, in terms of efficiency- find efficiency of column ignore TMV and work out size of column reverse engineering remove 99.4 % water- work out equilibrium coefficient o whats the efficiency of staging flowrates what is the efficiency of a karr column (additional power requirements for mechanical agitation) don’t need to use aspen if you consider components are immiscible with each other (NRTL will not work) for Aspen use UNIFAC use engineering heuristics to move forward don’t need to back up assumptions not about how you got to answers, technical write for your manager outline uncertainties
