A column with similar dimensions, number of trays, and operating at the same conditions as given in Problem 7. 19 is to be used to separate a mixture containing the following chemicals. For each case determine the bare module cost using a \(C E P C I=582\).

a. \(10 \%\) nitric acid solution

b. \(50 \%\) sodium hydroxide solution

c. \(10 \%\) sulfuric acid solution

d. \(98 \%\) sulfuric acid solution 

You may need to look for the relevant MOC for Part (d) on the Internet or another resource.

It is recommended that the following problems be solved using CAPCOST (use a value of CEPCI} \(=582\) ).

Data from problem 7.19

 A distillation column is initially designed to separate a mixture of toluene and xylene at around ambient temperature (say, \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) and pressure (say, 1 barg). The column has 20 stainless steel valve trays and is \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) in diameter and \(14 \mathrm{~m}\) tall. Determine the purchased cost and the bare module cost using a \(C E P C I=582\).
