QUESTION 1

(PO1, PLO1, MQF1, C2)

Your company was appointed as a consultant to purify chloroform (up to 99 mole%) from
solution containing 20 % chloroform(1) and 80% tetrahydrofuran (2).As a senior process
engineer you must explain to your client :

a) Why conventional tray distillation column doesn’t work for this binary mixture
b) Propose to your client what modification to the conventional tray distillation column
that can work at atmospheric pressure to purify the chloroform.

(10 marks)

QUESTION 2

(PO2,PLO3, MQF2, C4)

The molar enthalpy (kJ/mol) of a binary liquid mixture at T and P is given by

H=150x1+65x2+ (18x1+5x2) x1x2

By using suitable graphical method, determine the enthalpy of pure species 1, enthalpy of
pure species 2, partial enthalpy of species 1 and species 2 at infinite dilution
