Question
A mixture of pure carbon dioxide and hydrogen is passed over a nickel catalyst the temperature of
the catalyst bed is 315℃ and the reactor pressure is 2 Mpa g. The analysis of the gases leaving the
reactor showed CO2 57.1%, H2 41.1% ,CH4 1.68% and CO 0.12%(by volume) on a dry basis .
The reaction taking place in the reactor are
CO2 + 4H2 =CH4 + 2H2O
and CO2 + H2 = CO + H2O
Find (a) The conversion of CO2 per pass, (b) yield of CH4 in terms of CO2 reacted, and (c) The
composition of the feed (volume basis).
