This set of Separation Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Binary Batch Distillation”.

1. What is fixed for a column of given diameter?
a) Feed rate
b) Boiling point
c) Molar vapor boilup rate
d) Molar flow rate
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The molar vapor boilup rate is fixed for a column of a given diameter.

2. For a batch rectifier, R=1, Boilup rate = 100mol/hr
Moles of liquid residue at start W0=100
Moles of liquid residue at end W= 50
Calculate time required for batch rectification.
a) 1 hr
b) 2 hr
c) 3 hr
d) 4 hr
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Since the time required for batch distillation is given by t= (R+1)/V*(Wo-Wt), t= 1hr.

Calculate time required for batch rectification.
a) 1 hr
b) 2 hr
c) 3 hr
d) 4 hr
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Since the time required for batch distillation is given by t= (R+1)/V*(Wo-Wt), t= 3hr.
