Hi,
This is M.Ramachandra Reddy from Hyderabad, India.
I am a Chemical Engineer working for a Pharma company. I was given with a task to calculate the number of theoritical stages ,minimun reflux raton ,diameter & height of the packed column to separate DMF(DImethyl formamide) from DMF+Water mixture in continuous mode
I need design of packed column in excel sheet for separating DMF from DMF+Water mixture for the continuous size of 1500 Lit/h. with below feed and distillate compositions.
continuous size: 1500 Lit/h.
Composition of Feed: 1 w/w% Water, 99 w/w% DMF
Composition of Distillate: 99.9w/w% Water, 0.1 w/w % DMF
Composition of Bottoms: 99.8w/w % Water, 0.2 w/w% DMF
Type of Packing: Structured packing
here we are using vacuum distillation to separate dmf ,Please clearly explain from relative volatility to mccabe thiele graphical analysis
Please help. Looking forward for your reply.
