DISTILLATION OF ACETONE IN ISOPROPANOL

AIMS

- To determine the number of theoretical stages in a distillation column with respect to the separation of an isopropanol – acetone solution under conditions of high reflux.

- To analyse the relationship between distillate composition and temperature over a period of time for a distillation unit operating at constant reflux.

- To perform a material balance over a batch separation and investigate factors which may affect the experimental results.
