hi , please solve all the aspect of the question below the given materials in the first pic and the queation in the second please solve all the aspect dont repost answers here thank you so much Description of the process: MethyI EthyI Ketene Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) is manufactured by the dehydrogenation of 2-butanol. A sinsplafied description of the process listing the various units used is given beloa: - A reactor in which the butanol is dehydrated to produce MEK and hydrogen, according to the reaction: CH3CH3CH3CHOHCH3CH2CH3CO+H2 - A cooler-condenser, in which the reactor off-gaves are cooled and most of the MEK and unreacted alcohol are condensed. 84 percent of the MEK entering the unit is condensed, together with 92 percent alcohol. Hydrogen is non-condensable. The condensate is fed forward to the final parification column. - An absorption column, in which the uncondensed MEK and uncondensed alcohol are absorbed in water. Around 98 percent of MEK and alcohol is absorbed in this unit, giving a 10 percent w/w solution of MEK. The vent strean from the absorber, containing mainly hydrogen, is sent to a flare stack. - An extraction column, in which the MEK and alcohol in the solution from the absorber are extracted into trichlorocthylene (TCE). The extract, which contains around 20 per cent w/w MEK, and a small amount of butanol and water, is fed to a distillation column. - A distillation column, which scparates the MEK and alcohol from the solvent TCE. - A second distillation column, which produces a pure MEK product from the crude product and from the first column. The residue from this column, which contains the bulk of the unreacted 2-butanol, is recyeled to the reactor
