This set of Separation Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Equipment for Solvent Extraction(a)”.
1. Solvent extraction is more effective when the extraction is repeated with:
a) Extra solvent
b) Large solvent
c) Small solvent
d) No solvent
View Answer
Explanation: Solvent extraction is more effective when the extraction is repeated with small solvent.
2. When the component has a small value of K, it is supposed to have an affinity for:
a) Mobile phase
b) No phase
c) Stationary phase
d) Whole solution
View Answer
Explanation: The component has a small value of K, it is supposed to have an affinity for stationary phase.
3. What is the use of ether layer?
a) To separate organic impurities
b) To separate inorganic impurities
c) To separate fibres
d) TO separate solvent
View Answer
Explanation: Since ether is a non-polar compound, its layer is used to separate organic impurities.
4. A mobile phase cannot be a :
a) Gas
b) Solid
c) Liquid
d) Solid or gas
View Answer
Explanation: A mobile phase has to flow and hence it should not be a solid.
5. What is the representation of distribution coefficient?
a) S
b) H
c) G
d) K
View Answer
Explanation: The distribution coefficient is denoted by K.
6. What is the colour post extraction of iodine?
a) Blue
b) Indigo
c) Purple
d) Red
View Answer
Explanation: The colour after extracting iodine is purple.
7. The dispersed phase is also called as:
a) Non-continuous phase
b) Continuous phase
c) Dis-continuous phase
d) Gas phase
View Answer
Explanation: The dispersed phase is also called as dis-continuous phase, the other phase being continuous phase.
8. What is true about mixer settlers?
a) Two liquid phases mixed with impellers and separated by gravity induced separation.
b) Two liquid phases unmixed, and magnetic separation carried out
c) Two liquid phases are mixed by impellers, and separated using magnetic separation
d) Two liquid phases are heated to mix, and gravity induced separation is carried out
View Answer
Explanation: In mixer settlers, two liquid phases mixed with impellers and separated by gravity induced separation.
9. The dispersed phase is:
a) Continuous
b) Heavier
c) Lighter
d) May be heavier or lighter
View Answer
Explanation: The dispersed phase formed by mixing maybe a heavier or a lighter phase.
10. What is the major problem in settlers?
a) Colour of the two phases may be same
b) The two phases may not be visible
c) Emulsification in the mixing wheel
d) The size of dispersed particles can be large
View Answer
Explanation: If the agitation is very intense, then the size of particles can reduce to 1 to 1.5 micrometers. Thus there could be emulsification, and it is problematic.
