Question

Benzyl chloride is manufactured by the thermal or photochemical chlorination of toluene. The chlorination is usually carried out to no more than 50% toluene conversion to minimize the benzal chloride formed. Suppose reactor effluent emissions can be modeled ignoring byproducts, and the effluent is 50 mol% toluene and 50 mol% benzyl chloride. Estimate the emission of toluene and benzyl chloride (moles of each) when an initially empty 3 m3 holding tank is filled with the reactor effluent at 35°C and 0.2 MPa.
