The solvent ethyl ether is made industrially by the dehydration of ethyl alcohol using a sulfuric acid as catalyst

2 C2H5OH (C2H5)2O + H2O

Assuming the recycle is one half of the feed rate to the process, the feed rate is 1000 Kg/h alcohol solution, containing 8
recycle alcohol solution will have the same composition as the feed, calculate : production rate of ether, the loss of alco
the reactor, and the conversion for the process.

Answer: 1. Production rate of Ether?

R Ether = N Out Ether - N In Ether R Ether = N4 Ether - N1 Ether

2. The loss of alcohol in stream 6?

N6 Alcohol = N6*X6 A N6 Alcohol = 97.28556

3. Conversion in the reactor

X C2H5OH = N in C2H5OH - N out C2H5OH = (N1*X1 A + N2*X2 A) - N3*X3 A = 14879.46 = 0.4 = 4

N in C2H5OH N1*X1 A + N2*X2 A 37418.65

4. Conversion for the process

X C2H5OH = N in C2H5OH - N out C2H5OH = N1*X1 A - N6*X6 A = 14870.17 = 0.99 = 99%

N in C2H5OH N1*X1 A 14967.46
