Design a distillation column that separates a mixture of benzene and toluene with a feed of 50 mol% benzene and 50 mol% toluene, into two product streams: one with a purity of 99% benzene and the other with a purity of 99% toluene. The total distillate flow rate should be 80% of the feed flow rate and the reflux ratio should be 1.5 times the minimum reflux ratio. Provide a complete design including the required stages, the reboiler duty, and the reflux flow rate.
