    Reversing Bottoms/Distillate in simple distillation?

    Definitely. To clarify to myself then (tough as it is to understand the wonderful world of homogeneous azeotropes), HNO3 going in at a lower-than-azeotropic concentration will make water be the LK. The result of this makes the azeotrope (~70 wt% acid) the HK. Therefore, using a simple column...

    Thanks. That clarifies things a bit.

    Reversing Bottoms/Distillate in simple distillation?

    I'm having a little trouble understanding the following, perhaps someone here can help me out. Nitric acid/water is an azeotropic system that has the azeotrope at ~70% HNO3 and boils at 122C, 1 atm. Now, if you wanted to distill a 30% by wt mixture in a column to a 50% by weight mixture, you...
