1. Formaldehyde can be produced by oxidation of C2H4 and the following reaction may occur.

C2H4 + ½ O2  C2H4O C2H4 + 3O2  2CO2 + 2H2O

Using molecular balance method. Equimolar quantity of C2H4 and O2 was used and the product gas analysis shows 28.57% C2H4O, 11.43% CO2, 11.43% H2O, 22.86% C2H4 and 25.71 % O2. Calculate the % conversion of C2H4 and % Yield of C2H4O.

Ethylene oxide (C2H4O) is produced by the catalytic oxidation of ethylene (C2H4). That is ethylene is reacted with O2. An undesired side reaction is the combustion of ethylene to CO2 and H2O. The fresh feed to the process consists of oxygen and ethylene. The fresh feed is mixed with a recycle stream, also containing oxygen and ethylene, and fed to the reactor. The feed to the reactor contains a 3:1 molar ratio of ethylene to oxygen. The single pass conversion...

Ethylene oxide is produced by the catalytic oxidation of ethylene: C2H4(g)+12 O2(g)→C2H4O(g) An undesired competing reaction is the combustion of ethylene to CO2. The feed to a reactor contains 2 mol C2H4/mol O2. The conversion and yield in the reactor are respectively 25% and 0.70 mol C2H4O produced/mol C2H4 consumed. A multiple-unit process separates the reactor outlet stream components: C2H4and O2 are recycled to the reactor, C2H4O is sold, and CO2 and H2O are discarded. The reactor inlet and outlet...

Ethanol (EtOH) can be produced by the hydration of ethylene, C2H4 + H2O ? C2H5OH, at 300?C and high pressure with a phosphoric acid catalyst. Downstream of the reactor, a condenser is used to separate the product, which contains only EtOH and H2O, from a recycle stream that mixes with the fresh feed before entering the reactor. The fresh feed contains 30 mol% C2H4 and the remainder is steam. The single pass conversion is 20%. a. Draw and label the...

Ethanol can be produced commercially by the hydration of ethylene: C2H4 + H2O -> C2H5OH Some of the product is converted to diethyl ether in the side reaction: 2C2H5OH -> (C2H5)2O + H2O The feed to the reactor contains ethylene, steam, and an inert gas. A sample of the reactor effluent gas is analyzed and found to contain 43.3 mol% ethylene, 2.5 mol% ethanol, 0.14 mol% ether, 9.3 mol% inerts, and the balance water. a. Take as a basis 100...

Acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, may be produced by the reaction of ethylene with oxygen in the presence of a tetrachloropalladate catalyst according to the reaction: 2 CH2CH2+ O2? 2 CH3CHO In an undesired side reaction some of the ethylene is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water, CH2CH2+ 3 O2? 2 CO2 + 2 H2O A catalytic reactor is fed with a mixture of ethylene and oxygen only, and only the two above reactions occur. The exit stream contains gas with the...

1.) Formaldehyde is formed by reaction of methanol and oxygen. 2CH3OH(L) + O2(g) --> 2HCHO(g) + 2H2O(L) (where: L = liquid phase, and g = gas phase) A stoichiometric feed of methanol and oxygen is fed to the reactor at a rate of 100 mols/min and a temperature of 40 oC. Conversion is 100 %, and the product stream leaves at 50 degrees centigtrade. Find the heat. Please, please show any and all steps that helped you arrive at your...
