We have a column packed with a resin that immobilizes a liquid stationary phase. The column is initially clean, c4 = 0. At time ¢ = 0, we input a feed that is C4 ea = 1.5 giliter. The superficial velocity is 20 cm/minute. The column is 50 em long, ‘The packing has & = 0.40, e = 0.54, Ky = 1.0, p, = 1.124 kglliter, and the ‘equilibrium for Component A is an unfavorable isotherm 1c, 10.460, Use solute movement theory to predict the outlet concentration profile of A (cost vs. time). (You can report this as a graph or as a table or as both). q Chapter 18 (D16) a: A column packed with gas-phase activated carbon is initially filled with clean air. At (= (0 a feed gas containing y = 0.0005 wt frac toluene in air is started. This feed continues until r= 10.0 hours at which time a feed that is y = 0.0015 wt frac toluene is introduced and continued throughout the reminder of the operation. The superficial velocity is always 15.0 cm/s. Find the minimum column length required to have a single shock wave exit the column, 2000y +2200y where q = kg toluene/kg carbon, y = wt frac, which is essentially kg toluene/kg air.

Sketch the outlet concentration profile (vy vs. f) and label the times when these concentrations exit the column, Watch your units Chapter 18 (D28) 5. A.25.0 em long laboratory column is packed with particles that have an average diameter of 0.12 mm. At a superficial velocity of 9.0 cm/min we measure the breakthrough curve for a step input of solute. The column was initially clean. The center of the symmetrical breakthrough curve exits at 35.4 minutes while the width (measure from 0.05c¢ to 0.95ce) is 2.8 minutes. Pore diffusion controls and the isotherm has a Langmuir type shape a. What is Lyqrz in the lab unit? b, We want to design a large-scale unit with 0.80 frac bed use. The average particle diameter will be 1.0 mm. The superficial velocity will be 12 cm/minute. How long should this unit be? What is ¢s (cou = 0.05ce)? Assume ee is same for both units.
