Phthalic anhydride (PA) is produced by the oxidation of o-xylene (C8H10) in a fixed bed reactor at 350pC according to the following reaction: C8H10 + O2  C8H4O3 + H2O A condenser is used to remove all the PA (C8H4O3) as a mixture of solid and liquid. How many kilograms of o-xylene are recycled per hour if the purge gas is 78% N2 (the balance is a mixture of xylene, air, and H2O) and 60% conversion of o-xylene takes place on one-pass through the reactor?

Consider the pair of reactions in which ethylene is oxidized either to ethylene oxide (desired) or to carbon dioxide (undesired) in the furnace: C₂H4+0₂-C₂H4O C₂H₂ +30₂-2 CO₂ + 2H₂O The feed mixture and air are fed at a temperature To. All gaseous effluents are at temperature T emerging from the non-isothermal reactor. a) Calculate the number of degrees of freedom of the process. How would the answer differ if the reactor were adiabatic? b) Outline a manual calculation procedure to determine the compositions of all streams.

Benzene vapor is burned in air. Find the molar enthalpy of the reactants and the products if all heat is extracted from the reaction and the initial and final temperatures are equal. (Assume the H2O product is a liquid)

Alumina from bauxite separation stage calculations A crucial step in the production of aluminum from bauxite ore is the separation of alumina from the remaining mineral impurities in the ore. In the Bayer process this is accomplished by treating bauxite with aqueous NaOH to produce NaAIO2 (alumina). NaOH(aq) + Al(OH)3(s) → NaAIO2(aq) + 2H2O(1) Since NaAIO2 is water soluble while the residual mineral constituents of bauxite are not, a separation can be achieved by allowing the minerals to settle out and decanting the aqueous solution of NAAIO2 and unreacted NaOH. In order to further recover any NAAIO2 entrained in the settled mineral solids, this "mud" is repeatedly washed with water and allowed to settle, and the wash water is decanted. The figure below shows one stage of this washing-settling process. Wash water Slurry - Open to air Mixer/Wash tank Setling tank Decanted solution System boundary Washed mud In this stage, a feed slurry consisting of 10 wt% solids, 11 wt% NaOH, 16 wt%…

Potassium fluotitanate (K₂TiF₆), a starting material forproducing other titanium salts, is made by dissolvingtitanium(IV) oxide in concentrated HF, adding aqueous KF, andthen heating to dryness to drive off excess HF. The impure solidis recrystallized by dissolving in hot water and then cooling to 0°C, which leaves excess KF in solution. For the reaction of 5.00 g of TiO₂, 250. mL of hot water is used to recrystallize theproduct. How many grams of purified K₂TiF₆ are obtained?(Solubility of K₂TiF₆ in water at 0°C is 0.60 g/100)
