- Consider an aerobic production of acetic acid (P) from ethanol (S) using Acetobacter aceti bacteria. Acetobacter aceti bacteria are added to vigorously-aerate medium containing 16 g/L ethanol. After 16 hours, the ethanol concentration is 4 g/L and 8 g/L acetic acid is produced. What is the yield coefficient (Y P/S)?arrow_forwardPLease explainarrow_forwardHydrodealkylation is a process in which side chain alkyl groups (like methyl) are removed from aromatics by reaction with hydrogen. The following reactions take place in the reactor: E1 C6H₂CH3 + H₂C6H6 + CH4 C6H4(CH3)2 + H₂C6H5CH3 + CH4 C6H3 (CH3)3 + H₂C6H4(CH3)2 + CH4 In addition, an unwanted side reaction occurs, in which benzene dimerizes to form diphenyl [C6H5C6H5] E4 2 C6H6C6H5C6H5 + H₂ A process stream containing 5 mol % benzene [C6H6], 20 mol% toluene [C6H₂CH3], 35 mol% xylene [C6H4(CH3)2], and 40 mol % pseudocumene [C6H3 (CH3)3] is fed to a hydrodealkylation plant. This process stream is mixed with hydrogen gas in 5:1 gas-aromatics ratio before being fed to the reactor.

- An iron-carbon alloy initially containing 0.255 wt% C is exposed to an oxygen-rich and virtually carbon-free atmosphere at 1130 degrees C. Under these circumstances the carbon diffuses from the alloy and reacts at the surface with the oxygen in the atmosphere; that is, the carbon concentration at the surface position is maintained essentially at 0.0wt% C. At what position will the carbon concentration be 0.191 wt% after a 6h treatment? The value of D at 1130 degrees C is 6.0*10^-10 m^2/s.arrow_forwardEthanol and benzene are separated in a network of distillation and membrane separation steps. In one step, a near-azeotropic liquid mixture of 10,000 kg/h of 25 %wt ethanol in benzene is fed to a pervaporation membrane consisting of an ionomeric film of perfluorosulfonic polymer cast on a Teflon support. The membrane is selective for ethanol, producing a vapor permeate containing 60 %wt ethanol, while the liquid retentate contains 90 %wt benzene. 1. Draw a flow diagram of the pervaporation process. Label the streams and indicate the physical state and components of each stream. 2. Determine the recovery of benzene in the retentate. 3. Determine the separation power (ethanol relative to benzene; permeate to retentate)arrow_forwardOne way of purifying gaseous H₂ is to pass it under high pressure through the holes of a metal’s crystal structure. Palla-dium, which adopts a cubic closest packed structure, absorbs more H₂ than any other element and is one of the metals cur-rently used for this purpose. Although the metal-hydrogen inter-action is unclear, it is estimated that the density of absorbed H₂ approaches that of liquid hydrogen (70.8 g/L). What volume (in L)of gaseous H₂, measured at STP, can be packed into the spaces of1 dm3of palladium metal?arrow_forward

Under these circumstances the carbon diffuses from the alloy and reacts at the surface with the oxygen in the atmosphere; that is, the carbon concentration at the surface position is maintained essentially at 0.0 wt% C. At what position will the carbon concentration be 0.231 wt% after a 6 h treatment?
