Consider the following statement: “If a reactant (G) in a process is a gas at the feed conditions,

Consider the following statement: “If a reactant (G) in a process is a gas at the feed conditions, subsequent separation from the reactor effluent is difficult, hence unused G cannot be recycled.” Do you agree with this statement? Give your reasoning why you agree or disagree.

Expert Solution

Separation of G from reactor effluent may or may not be difficult.

(a) If G reacts to form a heavier (higher molecular weight) compound then separation may be relatively easy using a flash absorber or distillation and recycle can be achieved easily.

(b) If process is to be viable then G must be separable from the product. If inerts enter with G or gaseous byproducts are formed then separation of G may not be possible but recycling with a purge should be tried. In either case the statement is not true.

Consider a feed stream to a Claus process that consists of 10.0 mole% H2S and 90.0% CO2. Onethird of the stream is sent to a furnace where the H2S is burned completely with a stoichiometric amount of air fed at 1 atm and 25°C. The combustion reaction is H2S 3 2 O2! SO2 H2O The product gases from this reaction are then mixed with the remaining two-thirds of the feed stream and sent to a reactor in which the following...
