EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The main objective of this project was to carry out a design on the Propane distillation column for a process that produces 1‚3 Butadiene. The raw materials used are Butane‚ Oxygen and Water and the process capacity is 100 000 tonnes per annum nominal. In the previous work it was stated that the plant is located in China. The main location of the plant is in the capital city of the Gansu Provence‚ Lanzhou. This was decided as the location over other provinces due to the excellent

The Extraction of Bio-ethanol from Apple (Malus domesticus) and Banana (Musa accuminata Colla) Peelings through the Process of Fermentation and Distillation Abstract Apple (Malus domesticus) and banana (Musa accuminata Colla) peelings are common household waste products. This study sought to extract bioethanol from these two peelings and to compare which sample can produce more bioethanol. About 400 grams of apple and banana peeling was obtained from the 1 kilogram bought from the supermarket

Steam Engines A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. Using boiling water to produce motion goes back about 2000 years‚ but early devices were not practical. Since the late 1700’s steam engines have become a major source of mechanical power. The first steam-powered devices were used to pump water out of mines. In 1781‚ James Watt patented a steam engine that produced continuous rotative motion. These engines enabled a wide range of

The Steam Engine and the Civil War Question: How did the Steam Engine influence the Civil War and America in itself? Throughout the Civil War‚ there were many people and inventions that positively influenced The Civil War‚ but none other than the steam engine. The steam engine was one of the most influential inventions of the Civil War and America in itself. Before the Steam Engine trade was limited and the American economy was doing very poorly. The causes of this were the rules of trade and

Steam engines were the first engine type to see widespread use. They were first invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1705‚ and James Watt (who we remember each time we talk about "60-watt light bulbs" and the such) made big improvements to steam engines in 1769. Steam engines ¬powered all early locomotives‚ steam boats and factories‚ and therefore acted as the foundation of the Industrial Revolution. In this article‚ we’ll learn exactly how steam engines work.74 Steam Engine Operation The

However‚ there is high employee turnover which does not create a loyalty in the company culture. Also sales people have the ability to negotiate pricing which can be taken advantage of since they are paid on commission.

Distillation Purpose: To conduct the distillation process‚ simple or fractional. Procedure: 1. Add 5ml of 20% ethanol: water mix to the distillation flask. 2. Add 23 stir bar 3. Make sure that the thermometer bulb is just below the Claisen Head‚ carefully. Be very gentle with the thermometers and take care not to break them. 4. Label 3 vials‚ 1‚2‚ and 3. 5. Place receiving vial 1 on ice to collect the distillate 6. Start the distillation by piling up hot sand around the distillation flask with

Distillation of Alcoholic Beverages Pamela Mallari*‚ Symon Manuel‚ Katherine Merene and Charlene Mondelo Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Distillation is a physical process used to separate chemicals from a mixture by the difference in how easily they vaporize. This experiment aims to (1) compare the efficiency of simple and fractional distillation‚ (2) distill and calculate the % of ethanol and (3) determine the % loss in distillation. Two

then allowing toluene particles to separate in the later fractions when temperature is over 105 degrees Celsius. Lastly‚ it is concluded that fractional distillation is a more effective method as opposed to simple distillation because in fraction 7 of the simple‚ there was only around 36% toluene consumption versus a 96% in the fractional distillation. This is also due to the fact that using a fractionating column makes the samples more pure because it works better at separating the first couple of
