Batch Distillation
Fig. 21.35: Simple distillation in a batch still
• Often used in small plants to recover volatile products from liquid.• Vapor: - equilibrium with the liquid in the still
- Richer with volatile component- composition liquid & vapor are not constant

Continuous Distillation with RefluxCombination rectification and stripping
To purify by repeated distillation
Physical separation where more components are removed from a liquid stream by vapor stream
•Why feed is in the central?•What is feed plate?
Reflux provides the downflowing liquid in the rectifying section that is needed to act on the upflowing vapor.
No reflux no rectification
If no azeotropes,both overhead and bottom products obtained in any desired purity if enough plates and adequate reflux are provided.

Continuous Distillation with RefluxNumber of ideal Plates; McCabe-Thiele Method
• ASPEN : Computer design program used to identify the number of plates required for a distillation problem.
• Mc Cabe-Thiele Method : A simplified graphical method for calculating the number of plates.
• When the operating lines used Eqs. (21.17) and (21.20) are plotted within the equilirium curve on the xy diagram, the McCabe-Thiele step-by-step construction can be used to compute the number of ideal plates
•Eqs. (21.17) and (21.20), show that unless Ln and Lm are constant, the operating lines are curved and can be plotted only if the change in these internal streams with concentration is known.
• Enthalpy balances are required in the general case to determine the position of a curved operating line.
• See Example 21.2.

• Variations in V and L streams depend on the enthalpies.
• Enthalpy data may be available from an enthalpy-concentration diagram (e.g., Fig. 21.2) or data bank from in computer program.
• Often distillation columns are designed using computers, the basic enthalpy balance equation are given.
• Refer to Example 21.5, which illustrate the small difference this makes in the McCabe-Thiele diagram for a typical ideal system.
• Benzene-toluene solutions are ideal.
• Temperature for x = 0.5 and y = 0.5 is not the same! (Refer to next slide)
• Slight curvature in Fig. 21.21 is due to the nonlinear change in the bubble-point and dew-point with mole fraction benzene.

• Consider an overall enthalpy balance for system shown in Fig. 21.6
Fig. 21.6: Material-balance diagram for continuous fractionation column
FHF + qr = DHD + BHB +qc
HF = enthalpy of feedHD = enthalpy of overhead productHB = enthalpy of bottom productqc = heat removed from condenser = qr
For given feed and product streams, only 1 of heat effects, qr or qc.
Normally,
qc is chosen in designing a column to correspond to the desired reflux ratio and moles of the overhead vapor. Then, qr can be calculated using Eq. (21.48).
In operating column, qr is often varied to change the vapor flow rate and reflux ratio, and changes in qc then follow.

Example 21.5 A mixture of 50 mol percent benzene and toluene is to be separated by
distillation at atmospheric pressure into products of 98% purity using a reflux ratio 1.2 times the minimum value. The feed is liquid at the boiling point. Use enthalpy balances (Table 21.3) to calculate the flows of liquid and vapor at the top, middle, and bottom of the column, and compare these values with those based on molal overflow. Estimate the difference in the number of theoretical plates for the methods.
