Please answer it perfectly n to the point, i need to learn these questionsFour different separation processes are proposed to concentrate 5m3s of a biological
solution containing 0.01kmolm3 of a macromolecule, M, for a final concentration of 0.2
kmolm3. Each stage in each option has the same separation factor.
(a) Explain why we wish to identify the performance of a separation, and the different
metrics we can use to do so.
(b) "For separation to occur, we must arrange conditions so that regions of similar
composition form and that these regions move relative to each other".
Correct this statement, explaining (i) why it was incorrect, and (ii) the meaning of the
correct statement.
(c) Determine the stage separation factor for the four options proposed for the
biological solution, using the data provided in the question above.
(d) Based on an economic analysis of the first year of operation, and using the data
given below, suggest which option is the most economically suitable.
(e) For your selected option, if the separation factor of one of the stages were to
decrease, what impact would this have and how could the impact be reduced?
