Sulfuric acid is the chemical produced in the United States with the highest volume of production. In one of the earliest processes used to make it, an ore containing iron pyrites (FeS2) is roasted (burned) with air. The following reactions take place in the roasting furnace: The gas leaving the reactor goes to a catalytic converter in which most of the SO2 produced is further oxidized to SO3: Finally, the gas leaving the converter passes through an absorption tower, in which the SO3 is absorbed in water to produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4). (a) An ore containing 82 wt% FeS2 and 18% inerts is fed to a roasting furnace. Dry air is fed to the furnace in 40% excess of the amount theoretically required to oxidize all of the sulfur in the ore to SO3, an FeS2 oxidation of 85% is obtained, with 40% of the FeS2 converted forming sulfur dioxide and the rest forming sulfur trioxide. Two streams leave the roaster: a gas stream containing SO2, SO3, 02, and N2, and a solid stream containing unconverted pyrites, ferric oxide, and inert material in the ore. Calculate the required feed rate of air in standard cubic meters per 100 kg of ore roasted and the molar composition and volume (SCMJ100 kg of ore) of the gas leaving the roasting oven.

Consider 100 g of 252Fm, which decays in a sequence of 5 α decays to eventually reach 232Th. The relevant half-lives follow:

252 Fm :25.39 hr

248 Cf :333.5 d

244 Cm : 18.10 yr

240Pu : 6564yr

236 U :2.34 × 10^7 yr

232 Th :1.41 × 10^10 yr

For the following questions, state clearly any approximations that you need to make. a) How much of the original sample is 252Fm and how much is 248Cf after one day? b) After one month? c) Explain why it is mostly curium after 5 years. d) What isotope is it mostly after 100 years? e) Approximately how long it will take the sample to be mostly thorium?
