100 kmol of a mixture containing 35 mol.% of phenol, 40 mol.% of cresol, 20 mol.% ofxylenol and 5 mol.% of heavier aromatic alcohols is separated by distillation. Two streamsare obtained: distillate containing 95 mol.% of phenol and 5 mol.% of cresol, and bottomproduct. The distillate contains 90 % of phenol from the original mixture (the feed).Determine amount of both products in kmol and composition of the bottom product.Result: 33.2 kmol of distillate and 66.8 kmol of bottom product is obtained. the bottom productcontains 5.2 mol.% of phenol, 57.4 mol.% of cresol, 29.9 mol.% of xylenol and 7.5 mol.% ofheavier aromatic alcohols.
