Can anyone tell me how to calculate the quantity of a third
component added in an azeotropic batch distillation of a
known quantity of azeotropic mixture?

Answer Posted / dinesh patil

The quantity is based on solubility of solvent at that
particular thempreture and Pressure.

At room temperture & pressure ,suppose the feed quanity is
as (A = 10 kg, B=15kg, solubility of solvent is 0.150 kg
of B/kg of sovent while that of A is negligible.

Solvent required to extract 15 kg of B = (15/0.150)= 1000
kg.

If we increase the T & / P solubility increase then we have
to take respective solubility value at that particular T
& / P while calculation the solvent.

X is a solid having a white colour at room temperature. It has a density about 2g/cc. Although it has melting point near 325 degree Celsius, its properties start degrading above 260 degree Celsius. The coefficient of friction is very low about 0.1. It has very good dielectric properties especially at higher radio frequencies. It has a very high bulk resistivity. It is chemically inert. It is also resistant to van der Waals force. It is hydrophobic as well as lipophobic. Creep or ‘Cold Flow’ has been observed in X.
