Batch distillation with reflux
Tutorial #11
Raw moonshine containing 20
mole % ethanol (A) in water (B)
is fed to a batch still and distilled
until only the still residue
contains just 2 mole % ethanol.
What fraction of the charge
remains in the still? What is the
composition of the distillate
“refined moonshine”. P= 1bar.
