Chapter 9, Problem 9.25P
Formaldehyde is produced commercially by the catalytic oxidation of methanol. In a side reaction, methanol is oxidized to CO2.
A mixture containing 55.6 mole% methanol and the balance oxygen enters a reactor at 350°C and 1 atm at a rate of 4.60 × 104L/s. The reaction products emerge at the same temperature and pressure at a rate of 6.26 × 104L/s. An analysis of the products yields a molar composition of 36.7% CH2O,4.1% CO2, 14.3% O2. and 44.9% H2O. The required reactor cooling rate is calculated to be 1.05 × 105kW.
- Is the calculated cooling rate correct for the given stream data?
- The stream data cannot be correct. Prove it.

How much total work is involved in this process?
Please report your answer to the nearest whole kJ and don't forget the sign: "-" if the work is negative, no sign if the work is positive.

At the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment plant, they add MgCl2 to the pressate (concentrated liquid pressed from sludge) to precipitate phosphate as the mineral struvite. Struvite is formed by the reaction of phosphate with magnesium ions and ammonium, and the solubility product for struvite is 5.5x10-14. The ammonium concentration is very high at 300 mg N-NH4/L because the sludge is coming from an anaerobic digester. What minimum amount of MgCl2 (in mg/L) would be needed to precipitate all but 1 mg/L phosphate? Struvite precipitates by the following reaction: Mg++NH] +PO →MgNH PO 4 4 4arrow_forward
