Unit Operations V (Mass Transfer) : Distillation Part 2

The document discusses two methods for designing continuous fractionators: the McCabe-Thiel method and the Ponchon-Savarit method. The Ponchon-Savarit method uses enthalpy-composition diagrams to model non-ideal binary mixtures where heat of mixing and variable molar heat are substantial. It requires heat capacity, heat of mixing, latent heats of vaporization, and bubble-point temperature data to construct the diagram for a given binary system over its vapor-liquid temperature range. The diagram can show relative volatility, deviations from ideality, and azeotropic distillation behavior.

Distillation Part 2
Ponchon-Savarit Method
• There are two methods by which the design
of the continuous fractionator can be
established.
• We looked at the McCabe-Thiel Method
• Ponchon-Savariat Method
 For a non-ideal system, where the molar latent heat is
no longer constant and where there is a substantial
heat of mixing, the calculations become much more
tedious.
 For binary mixtures of this kind a graphical model has
been developed by RUHEMANN, PONCHON, and
SAVARIT, based on the use of an enthalpy-composition
chart.
 It is necessary to construct an enthalpy-composition
diagram for particular binary system over a
temperature range covering the two-phase vapor-
liquid region at the pressure of the distillation.
The following data are needed:

1. Heat capacity as a function of temperature,


composition and pressure.
2. Heat of mixing and dilution as a function of
temperature and composition.
3. Latent heats of vaporization as a function of
composition and pressure or temperature.
4. Bubble-point temperature as a function of
composition and pressure.
