Yield = f3.3 100 – fl.3 :. ~B = 3·12 mol.

o =f1.1 – f2.6 = f2.8 – f3.4 = ~A – f4.6 = ~A fs.11 = ~B (1) 7.3 Energy balances Equation (1) expresses the requirement that all methane formed in the reactor must leave in the purge. Substituting for the extents gives Purge 111 = 25 mol 12.6 = 12.8 – 21·88 mol 13.4 = 18·75 mol 14.6 =25mol 15.11 = 3-12 mol All the hydrogen and methane leaving the reactor are in stream 5, thus 12.5 = 12.3 = 478·12 mol 14.5 = 14.3 = 525 mol.

The fraction of this methane leaving in the purge (stream 6) is 14.6 =~=0’0476 14.5 The same fraction of the H2 in stream 5 leaves in the purge :/2.6 = 12.6 =0.0476 12.5 478·12 ~ 12.6 = 22·77 mol Answers (a) Gas recycle (stream 9) = 1000 mol (500 mol H2, 500 mol CH4) Liquid toluene recycle (stream 12): (2) 25 mol of fresh feed (/1,1) make up the 100 mol of toluene fed to the reactor.

Thus, recycle = 75 mol. (b) Purge = 47’44 mol (52% methane, 48% hydrogen). (c) Hydrogen make up: from the overall balance (equation (2» 12.8 = 12.6 + 21.88. i.e. make up = 44·65 mol H2. The energy balance is based on the principle of conservation of energy. It provides an important additional technique for analysing processes. An energy balance is used to determine the energy requirements of a process or unit in terms of heating, cooling or work (pumps, compressors, etc.).

Although for many purposes it is possible to carry out material and energy balances independently this is not always the case, e.g. in the design of a chemical reactor the extent is strongly dependent on the temperature and the two balances must be solved simultaneously. 7.3.1 Energy balance equations The general balance equation (7.2.1) may be applied to energy but the generation and consumption terms are always zero.

Energy is neither generated nor consumed in chemical reactions-there is merely a difference in energy associated with chemical bonds in reactants and products.

The forms of energy important in chemical processes and their relative magnitudes are discussed in more detail in section 8.2. The internal energy term includes both ‘chemical’ energy of bonding and ‘thermal’ energy due to molecular motion and intermolecular interactions.

This book is dedicated to the memory of my Father, John Arthur Alan Heaton An Introduction to Industrial Chemistry Third edition Edited by Alan Heaton Reader in Industrial Chemistry School of Pharmacy and Chemistry Liverpool John Moores University SPRINGER-SCIENCE+BUSINESS MEDIA, B.V.

Topical items such as quality, safety and environmental issues also receive enhanced coverage. The team of authors for this edition comprises both those revising and updating their chapters and some new ones. The latter’s different approach to the subject matter is reflected in the new titles: Organisational Structures – A Story of Evolution (chapter 5) and Environmental Impact of the Chemical Industry (chapter 9).

The chapter on Energy retains its original title but different approach of the new authors is evident. We have updated statistics and tables wherever possible and expanded the index. We hope readers find the brief ‘pen pictures’ of authors to be interesting. It is worth stressing again that this book is designed to be used with its companion volume – The Chemical Industry, 2nd Edition, ed.
