Question Number II Ethanol (EtOH) can be produced by the hydration of ethylene, C2H4 + H2O ⇔ C2H5OH, at 300°C and high pressure with a phosphoric acid catalyst. Downstream of the reactor, a condenser is used to separate the product, which contains only EtOH and H2O, from a recycle stream that mixes with the fresh feed before entering the reactor. The fresh feed contains 30 mol% C2H4 and the remainder is steam. The single pass conversion is 20%. a. Draw...

Ethanol is produced commercially by hydration of ethylene and during this process a side reaction converts some the ethanol to diethyl ether (DEE). In one process, a fresh feed containing ethylene, non-condensable inerts, and water are mixed with a recycle stream. The combined stream is fed to the reactor and it contains 182 mol/min of ethylene. While the fresh feed contains 9 moles of ethylene per mole of inerts, after mixing with recycle stream, the mole ratio of inerts to...

Ethylene oxide is produced from the reaction of ethylene and oxygen at 270-290 °C and 8-20 atm. In order to prevent potentially dangerous pressure buildups, the container in which this reaction takes place has a safety valve set to release gas when the pressure reaches 25 atm. If a 15-m3 reaction vessel contains 7.8 × 103 moles of gas, at what temperature will the pressure reach 25 atm? (There are 103 L per m3.)

Ethylene glycol (C2H4(OH)2) , when dissolved in water, provides the standard ‘anti-freeze’ coolant for water-cooled engines. In order to depress the freezing point of water by 20 °C, how many grams of ethylene glycol would need to be dissolved in 15 kg of pure water? (The molal freezing point depression constant for water Kf = 1.86 K mol-1 kg and the relevant atomic masses are: C = 12g, H = 1g and O = 16g.) Note: ethylene glycol is an...

Ethylene oxides is produced by the catalytic oxidation of ethylene: C2H4 (g)+ (1/2)O2---> C2H4O (g) An undesired competing reaction is the combustion of ethylene to CO2. The feed to a reactor contains 2 mol C2H4/mol O2. The conversion and yield in the reactor are respectively 25% and 0.70 mol C2H4O produced/mol C2H4 consumed. A multiple-unit process separates the reactor outlet stream component: C2H4 and O2 are recycled to the reactor, C2H4O is sold, and CO2 and H2O are discarded. The...
