what is extractive distillaion..

Answer / bariumesh8

Mixture of low
relative volatility is
separated by
extractive
distilation. The 3rd
party solvent
added interact wid
all components of
mixture thus alter
relative volatility
and make
separation easier.
Solvent selection
is important.

Answer / dinesh patil

Some of the Liquid componets (suppose A & B) are difficult
to seperate under normal tempreture & pressure or due to
low boiling point difference (when the mixture is
Azotropic) So requirment of extractive distillation raise.

In extractive distillation solvent component (Suppose C)is
added in such a way that it preferably extract only one of
component among A or B and after ward distillation
operation can be done.

what is extractive distillaion..

Answer / ravi

Extractive distillation is defined as distillation in the
presence of a miscible, high boiling, relatively
non-volatile component, the solvent, that forms no azeotrope
with the other components in the mixture.

Answer / muthukumar

when feed supplied goes to reboiler section we call it as
extractive distillation and here the third component is known
as solvent

Answer / rajesh kumar bhagat

In this we add a entrainer, who alter the relative volatality
of one component(minor component)of azeotropic mixture and we
distilled that component out. and major component with
entrainer will be the bottom product.

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING - QUESTION 25.1 : Fact 1 : Dry air contains 20.95 % oxygen, 78.09 % nitrogen, 0.93 % argon, 0.039 % carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases by volume. Fact 2 : Volume occupied is directly proportional to the number of moles for ideal gases at constant temperature and pressure. Fact 3 : 12.5 moles of pure oxygen is required to completely burn 1 mole of pure octane. Fact 4 : Air-fuel ratio (AFR) is the mass ratio of dry air to fuel present in a combustion process such as in an internal combustion engine or industrial furnace. Fact 5 : Molecular weight of oxygen gas is 31.998 g / mole and molecular weight of nitrogen gas is 28.014 g / mole. (a) Find the molar ratio of nitrogen and oxygen, or (moles of nitrogen) / (moles of oxygen) in dry air, by assuming ideal features of nitrogen and oxygen gases. (b) How many moles of nitrogen are available if dry air is used to completely burn the 1 mole pure octane? (c) Find the mass of fuel of 1 mole of octane with molecular weight of 114.232 g / mole. (d) Find the mass of dry air with 12.5 moles of pure oxygen by assuming only oxygen and nitrogen gases exist in the air. (e) Find the air-fuel ratio (AFR) when octane is used as fuel. (f) Find the fuel-air ratio (FAR) when octane is used as fuel.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.12 : You, as an engineer, buy a piece of biochemical instrument to start a servicing business. The instrument has a useful life of 3 years, that costs $60k. The instrumental business generates $100k per year. The labor costs $50k per year. The $60k new instrument depreciates in its value evenly up to 3 years, thereafter the old instrument needs to be replaced by another piece of new instrument. (i) In the first year of this engineering business : (a) what is its starting cash? (b) calculate the depreciation value of the instrument. (c) find the operating profit generated. (d) what is the capital expense of the business? (e) calculate the cash from operation. (f) calculate the ending cash. (ii) Based on the income statement of the business in the second year : (a) find the capital expense of the business. (b) what is its starting cash? (c) calculate the depreciation value of the instrument. (d) find the operating profit generated. (e) calculate the cash from operation. (f) calculate the ending cash.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.15 : Based on Time Discounting of Money, let y = x / (1 + r) ^ n, where ^ = power, r = interest rate for the period in decimal value, n = number of periods, y = current value, x = future value. According to Present Value Addition Rule, the present value of a set of future payments is equal to sum for present value of each of the payments. In an engineering business, 3 future payments are to be made : $100 after 1 year; $500 after 2 years; $200 after 3 years. (a) Form an equation of y as a function of r. (b) Find the value of y in 5 decimal places if r = 8 %.
