Propane is catalytically dehydrogenated to produce propylene by passing it over a granuar solid catalyst. In parallel with the main gas-phase reaction of propane dehydrogenation, side reaction to methane and carbon occurs: C,H,C,H +H A single-pass conversion of propane of 80%Is achieved in the reactor. Out of the propane reacting, 20% reacts according to the side reaction. The reactor effluent gases undergo a two-stage separation. In the first stage all hydrogen and 90% of the methane is separated, in the...
(25) Reactor/Recycle Specification Before performing energy balances on the fire heater and the reactor, you must specify the reacting system. Again, the competing reactions occurring in this process are: C3H6 + C&H. → CH12 or P+BIB C3H + CH12 + C12H18 or P+IB → DB Below is a simplified version of the flow sheet dealing with just the recycle loop of the process. Fresh benzene (B) is mixed with a recycle stream that contains only B and propylene (P). The...
5) The most conventional method for producing propylene oxide is by the reaction of propylene with Hz and O2. However, propane is also produced from a competing reaction of propylene with Hz. If you mix a stream contains propylene, hydrogen and air (6, 18.6 and 27 mol/h, respectively) with an inert carbon dioxide (3000 mol/h) stream and fed them to a continuous reactor. The reactor effluents introduced to a condenser where the condensate liquids consisting propylene oxide, propylene and propane...

A fractional conversion of 30% of the limiting reactant is achieved. Determine which reactant is limiting, the percentage by which each of the other reactants is in excess, and the molar flow rates of all product gas constituents for a 30% conversion of the limiting reactant, taking 100...

Propylene is hydrogenated to produce propane via the gas phase reaction: C3H6 + H2 ? C3H8 A fresh feed (48 mole% C3H6, 48 mole% H2, and 4 mole% Inert) is mixed with a recycle stream in a ratio of 4 mole recycle/1 mole fresh feed to produce the feed to a reactor (8 mole% inert). The reactor output is fed to a separator...
6.1. Propylene oxide (C,H,O is produced by reacting propylene (C,H) with oxygen and hydrogen. A side reaction resulted in reacting propylene with hydrogen and produces propane. A mixture of 35 mol/h Air, 4 mol/h propylene, and 12.6 mol/h hydrogen (H2) along with 5000 mol/h carbon dioxide (CO, is used as inert solvent) are fed to a continuous reactor. The percent single-pass conversion of limiting reactant is 10%. The fractional yield of C3Hs to C,H,O is 0.80 (i.e., fraction of moles...

This is an open-book. closed-notes exam. To receive full credit on these problems you need to use the problem solving methods presented in the text and used in class. You must also clearly label all equations that you write and identify your answers by drawing a box around them. Ethylene glycol (EG) is produced by the reaction between ethylene oxide (EO) and water C_2H_4O + H_2Orightarrow C_2H_6O_2 Ethylene glycol can further react with ethylene oxide to form diethylene glycol (DEG)...
