The following molar compositions were recorded for the vapour
and liquid phases of a feed mixture under equilibrium
conditions.
Vapour: 29% water, 20% butanol, 29% acetone, 22% ethanol
Liquid: 31% water, 40% butanol, 11% acetone, 18% ethanol
It is desired to perform a separation to create two products:
one rich in water and butanol and the other rich
in acetone and ethanol.
Identify the light and heavy keys for this separation and
explain why.
