Entrainer used in Azeotropic distillation should____________________?
  • (A)  Form a low boiling azeotrope with one of the constituents of the mixture
  • (B)  Form a new azeotrope of low relative volatility with one of the constituents of the mixture
  • (C)  Have high latent heat of vaporisation
  • (D)  Have high viscosity to provide high tray efficiency
Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  When the concentration difference for the mass transfer becomes zero at the bottom of the gas absorption tower, then the upper end of the operating line touches the equilibrium curve
  • (B)  The average distance between the operating line and equilibrium line is large, when the liquidgas ratio is also large in case of a counter current gas absorption tower
  • (C)  The operating line lies above the equilibrium curve in case of a gas desorber
  • (D)  With decrease in the liquid flow rate for a fixed gas flow rate, the slope of the operating line decreases, in case of gas absorption process
Pick out the correct statement ?
  • (A)  In case of liquid-liquid extraction, no separation is possible, if the selectivity of the solvent used is unity
  • (B)  With increase in temperature, the selectivity of the solvent used in solvent extraction decreases
  • (C)  The selectivity of solvent used in solvent extraction is unity at the plait point
  • (D)  All
