ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF CHEM. PROCESS.
- Solid calcium (CaF2) reacts with sulfuric acid to form solid calcium sulfate and gaseous hydrogen fluoride. The HF is then dissolved in water to form hydrofluoric acid. A source of calcium fluoride is fluorite ore containing 96 wt% CaF2 and 4% SiO2. In a typical hydrofluoric acid manufacturing process, fluorite ore is reacted with 93 wt% aqueous sulfuric acid, supplied 15% in excess of the stoichiometric amount. Ninety-five percent of the ore dissolves in the acid. Some of the HF formed reacts with the dissolved silica in the reaction 6 HF + SIO2 (aq) – H2SİF6 (9) + 2 H2O (1) The hydrogen fluoride exiting from the reactor is subsequently dissolved in enough water to produce 60 wt% hydrofluoric acid. Calculate the quantity of fluorite ore needed to produce a metric ton of acid. Express your answer into three significant figures.arrow_forwardA steady-state process to recover crystalline potassium chromate (K,CrOz) from an aqueous solution of this salt is required. Four thousand kilograms per hour of a solution that is one-third K,CrO, by mass is joined by a recycle stream containing 36.4% K2CrO7, and the combined stream is fed into an evaporator. The concentrated stream leaving the evaporator contains 49.4% K,CrO; this stream is fed into a crystallizer in which it is cooled (causing crystals of K,CrO, to come out of solution) and then filtered. The filter cake consists of K,CrO, crystals and a solution that contains 36.4% K,CrO, by mass; the crystals account for 95% of the total mass of the filter cake. The solution that passes through the filter, also 36.4% K,CrO,, is the recycle stream. 1- Draw the flowchart of the system and put all known information. 2- Calculate the rate of evaporation, the rate of production of crystalline K,CrO7, the feed rates that the evaporator and the crystallizer must be designed to handle, and…arrow_forwardAn evaporation-crystallization process is used to obtain solid potassium sulfate from an aqueous solution of this salt.

- A mixture containing 42 wt% benzene (B) and 58 wt% toluene (T) is fed to a distillation column at a flow rate of 100 kg per minute. The product steam leaving the top of the column (the overhead product) contains 90 wt% benzene and 85 wt% of the total benzene fed to the column exits in this overhead product stream. Calculate the mass flow rate and mass composition of the product stream leaving the bottom of the column. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the overhead product, assuming that it exits the distillation column as a vapour stream at 82C and 1 atm (abs). Physical Property Data (S.G.= specific gravity) from table B-1: Benzene S.G. = 0.879 MW = 78.11 g/mol Toluene S.G. = 0.866 MW = 92.13 g/mol Water Density = 1.00 kg/L MW = 18.02 g/mol R = 0.08206 L atm/mol Karrow_forwardMethanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below: CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?arrow_forwardA mixture combining 60 mL ethanol (C₂H6O) with 75 mL water (H₂O) is prepared at 280 K.

- Human saliva contains the enzyme α-amylase which hydrolyzes polysaccharide acetal linkages. A soda cracker (containing starch) was carefully ground; the crumbs were distributed evenly between two test tubes. The first test tube contained only water, while the second contained a 1% solution of α-amylase. Both mixtures were heated to 35°C for 10 minutes and filtered. The filtrates were tested with iodine solution and Benedict’s solution. Use the following results to answer the questions below. Mixture Iodine test Benedict’s Test cracker in water dark blue blue cracker in water and α-amylase red red-orange precipitate a. Was the starch from the cracker/water mixture hydrolyzed? Was the starch from the cracker in the 1% α-amylase solution hydrolyzed? b.

This is then fed to a crystallizer at 311 K, where crystals containing 98 wt% KNO3 are removed. The saturated solution containing 37.5 wt% KNO3 is recycled to the evaporator. Calculate the amount of the recycle stream R in kg/h and the product stream of crystals P in kg/h.arrow_forward

Fresh air containing 4.00 mole % water vapor is to be cooled and dehumidified to a water content of 1.70 mole% H20. A stream of fresh air is combined with a recycle stream of previously dehumidified air and passed through the cooler. The blended stream entering the unit contains 2.30 mole% H2O. In the air conditioner, some of the water in the feed stream is condensed and removed as liquid. A fraction of the humidified air delivered to the cooler is recycled and the remainder is delivered to a room. Taking 100 mole of dehumidified air delivered to the room as a basis of calculation; calculate the moles of fresh feed, moles of water condensed, and moles of dehumidified air recycled.
