Question

Transcribed Image Text:NaOH (Caustic soda) may be produced in a process from the following reactions:
CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
CaO+H2O = Ca(OH)2
2NaCl + CaCO3 = Na2CO3 + CaCl2
Na2CO3+ Ca(OH)2 = 2 NaOH + CaCO3
1. Write the overall reaction for NaOH production using salt (NaCl), limestone (CaCO3) and water
(H2O) as raw materials
2. What are the required feed rates of salt (NaCl), limestone (CaCO3) and water (H2O) required to
produce 1000 lbm/day of NaOH as a 10% wt solution.
