One Of Your Colleagues Proposed To Used Flash Distillation Column Operated At 330 K And 80 Kpa To Separate A Liquid Mixt 1 (82.3 KiB) Viewed 10 times

One of your colleagues proposed to used flash distillation column operated at 330 K and 80 kPa to separate a liquid mixture containing 30 moles% chloroform (1) and 70 moles% ethanol(2). In his proposal, he stated that the mixture exhibits azeotrope with composition of x = y; = 0.77 at 330 K and the non-ideality of the liquid mixture could be estimated using the following equation: Iny, - Ax and In yz = Ax? Given that P, sat and Pat is 88.04 kPa and 40.75 kPa, respectively at 330 K. Comment if the proposed temperature and pressure of the system can possibly be used for this flash process?
