Question
5.10
A solid ore containing 82 wt% FeS₂ and 18 wt% inert is fed to a furnace.
Dry air is fed in 40% excess of the amount theoretically required to
oxidize all of the sulfur in the ore to SO3. A pyrite conversion of 85%
is obtained, with 40% of FeS₂ converted to form sulfur dioxide and the
rest forming sulfur trioxide. Two streams leave the roaster: a gas stream
containing SO3, SO₂, O₂, and N₂, and a solid stream containing uncon-
verted pyrite, ferric oxide (Fe₂O3), and inert. Using 100 kg/min of ore
as a basis, calculate the rate of Fe₂O3 production (kg/min) in the outlet
solid stream, and the total molar flow and composition of the outlet gas
stream. The following reactions take place in the furnace: (46.5 kg)
