Sintesis Amonia

Sintesis Amonia
Amonia termasuk 10 bahan organik penting
Sebagian besar dipakai untuk pembuatan pupuk
dan asam nitrat.
Reaksi dan termodinamika kimia
Reaksi eksotermik.
3 H2 + N2 2 NH3 Ho = -109 kJ/mol N2
Pembentukan NH3 dilakukan pada suhu rendah dan
tekanan tinggi.
Proses dioperasikan secara bertahap dengan
pendinginan antar tahap disertai pengambilan NH3 agar
keseimbangan bergeser ke kanan.

PROBLEM
The stoichiometric H2-N2 mixture (75% H2 - 25% N2) for
synthesising ammonia is made by mixing producer gas
(78% N2 - 20% CO - 2% CO2) and water gas (50% H2 50% CO). The carbon monoxide, which acts as synthesis
catalyst poison, is removed by reacting this gas mixture with
steam to reform the carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the
shift reaction
CO + H2O CO2 + H2
The CO2 is subsequently removed by scrubbing with a
suitable absorbent. Assuming that all compositions are in
mol % and that just enough steam is added to completely
convert all the CO, calculate the ratio in which the producer
and water gas streams ought to be mixed.
