Problem 1

A contact sulfuric acid plant produces 98.0 % sulfuric acid, by absorbing


SO3 into a 97.3 % sulfuric acid solution. A gas containing 8.00 % SO3
(remainder inerts) enters the SO3 absorption tower at the rate of 28 lb mol
per hour 98.5 % of the SO3 is absorved in this tower. 97.3 % sulfuric acid is
introduced into the top of the tower and 95.9 % sulfuric acid from another
part of the process is used to make-up acid. The flow sheet is given in the
figure with all of the known data on it.
Calculate the
a. Tons/day of 95.9 % H2SO4 make-up acid solution required.
b. Tons/day of 97.3% H2SO4 solution introduced into
the top of the tower.
c. Tons/day of 98 % H2SO4 solution
produced.
