Problem 3.15
The solvent ethyl ether is made industrially by the
dehydration of ethyl alcohol using a sulfuric acid as
catalyst
2 C2H5OH (C2H5)2O + H2O
Assuming the recycle is one half of the feed rate to the
process, the feed rate is 1000 Kg/h alcohol solution,
containing 85% (weight) alcohol, and the recycle
alcohol solution will have the same composition as the
feed, calculate : production rate of ether, the loss of
alcohol in stream 6, the conversion in the reactor, and
the conversion for the process.

 PERTANYAAN DAN JAWABAN

1. Production rate of Ether?

R Ether = N Out Ether - N In Ether
R Ether = N4 Ether - N1 Ether
R Ether = 7435.088 0 = 7435.088 mol/h

2. The loss of alcohol in stream 6?

N6 Alcohol = N6*X6 A
N6 Alcohol = 97.28556 mol/h
 3. Conversion in the reactor

X C2H5OH = N in C2H5OH - N out C2H5OH = (N1 A + N2 A) - N3 A= 14879.46 = 0.4 = 40%

N in C2H5OH N1A + N2 A 37418.65

4. Conversion for the process

X C2H5OH = N in C2H5OH - N out C2H5OH = N1 A N6 A = 14870.17 = 0.99 = 99%

N in C2H5OH N1 A 14967.46
