Distillation Column

What are the two main types of distillation processes mentioned in the text?

• Sieve Trays and Hifi Trays

• Bubble Cap Trays and Valve Trays

• Simple Distillation and Fractional Distillation

• Batch Distillation and Continuous Distillation

Which type of tray relies on the flow of vapors through the holes to hold the liquid on the tray?

• Hifi Trays

• Sieve Trays

• Valve Trays

• Bubble Cap Trays

What is the main difference between Batch Distillation and Continuous Distillation?

• Batch Distillation products are removed simultaneously, while Continuous Distillation is unloaded and then cleaned out

• Batch Distillation is for the pharmaceutical industry, while Continuous Distillation is for the petroleum industry

• Batch Distillation is useful for large volumes of input, while Continuous Distillation is carried out in batches

• Batch Distillation is more labor-intensive, while Continuous Distillation is more flexible

Which type of tray is most susceptible to plugging in dirty services?

• Sieve Trays

• Hifi Trays

• Valve Trays

• Bubble Cap Trays

What factor determines the operating range of trays according to the text?

• Material of Construction

• Maintenance

• Pressure Drop

• Cost

How does the material of construction affect the performance of distillation trays?

• It has no impact on the operation

• It determines the pressure drop

• It affects the operating range

• It determines the cost only

What is the purpose of using Bubble Cap Trays in distillation?

• To increase pressure drop

• To enhance vapor-liquid contact

• To reduce maintenance costs

• To decrease efficiency

What is the main purpose of using reflux in distillation?

• To increase the pressure drop

• To enhance vapor-liquid contact

• To reduce the efficiency

• To decrease the maintenance costs

Which type of distillation process is more suitable for separating components with close boiling points?

• Simple Distillation

• Fractional Distillation

• Batch Distillation

• Continuous Distillation

How does the pressure drop affect the efficiency of distillation trays?

• Higher pressure drop leads to higher efficiency

• Lower pressure drop leads to higher efficiency

• Pressure drop has no impact on efficiency

• Pressure drop affects the cost only
