A chemical plant has a mixture of ethanol and water with a known composition. The plant wants to separate the mixture using a distillation column. As a chemistry student, design a feasible distillation column that can effectively separate the mixture with the given composition. You need to specify the height, diameter, number of trays, reflux ratio, and other necessary parameters needed for designing the column. You are also required to provide an explanation for the choice of each parameter.

A chemical mixture containing 30% ethanol and 70% water needs to be separated using a distillation column. The feed rate is 1000 kg/hr and the desired purity for both products is 99%. The distillation column has 20 theoretical trays, and the reflux ratio is 2.5. Determine the number of trays required to achieve the desired purity for both products.

A chemical engineering firm has been tasked with designing a chemical reactor for the synthesis of ammonia gas from nitrogen and hydrogen gases. The plant requires a production of at least 1000 kg/h of ammonia gas, and the reactor should operate at a pressure of 200 atm and a temperature of 400°C. The student should determine the optimal size and design of the reactor by considering the reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics principles. The student should also select appropriate catalysts and determine the flow rate of the reactants required to achieve the desired production rate.

A chemical engineering company has a mixture of ethanol and water with a concentration of 30% ethanol to separate using a distillation column. The company needs to obtain a concentration of 80% ethanol in the distillate at a reflux ratio of 3. Calculate the number of theoretical plates required in the column for the separation, assuming no vapor or liquid bypass, and that the minimum vapor velocity is maintained.

A chemical engineer wants to separate a mixture of ethanol and methanol using a distillation column. The feed to the column contains 30% ethanol and 70% methanol by mole. The engineer wants to obtain a distillate with 80% ethanol and a bottoms product containing no more than 1% ethanol. Determine the number of trays required in the distillation column to achieve this separation. Consider only equilibrium stages and assume that the feed is saturated liquid at its boiling point. The operating pressure of the column is 1 atm.
