    MATERIAL BALANCE

    BALANCE AROUND REACTOR


    Basis: 1 hour of operation
    Assume on stream time = 7500 hrs/ year
    Chlorine production = (10000 x 1000)/7500
    = 1333.33 kg/ hr.
    = 18.51 kmol/hr
    From stoichiometry of the reaction:
    4 HCl + O2 2 Cl2 + 2 H2O
    ∴No. of moles of water produced = 18.51 kmol/ hr
    = 333.33 kg/hr
    ∴Theoretical O2 required = 18.496/ 2
    =9.255 kmol/hr = 296.16 kg/hr
    ∴Theoretical amount of HCl required = 18.51 x 2 = 37.02 kmol/hr
    = 1350.208 kg/hr
    Assuming 75% conversion,
    Actual amount of HCl required = 1350.208/ 0.75
    = 1800.25 kg/hr
    Amount of water in 98% HCl gas = 1800.25/0.98 – 1800.25
    = 36.74 kg/hr
    Since the feed contains 98% HCl and rest 2% water,
    ∴Total flow rate of feed (HCl +Water) = 1800.25 +36.74
    = 1836.99 kg/hr
    Assuming 30% excess oxygen,
    Actual amount of oxygen required = 9.251 x 1.3
    = 12.026 kmol/ hr
    = 384.704 kg/hr
    Assuming 5% inert as nitrogen,
    Amount of nitrogen in oxygen = 12.022/0.95 – 12.022
    = 0.6327 kmol/ hr
    = 17.71 kg/hr
    ∴ Actual molar ratio between HCl and O2
    HCl / O2 = 49.322/ 12.655 = 3.897
    Unreacted HCl =1800.277 – 1350.208
    = 450.045 kg /hr
    Unreacted oxygen = 9.251 x 0.3
    = 2.7744 kmol/hr
    = 88.78 kg/hr

    BALANCE AROUND PRODUCT GAS COOLER:


    G
    Cl2 = 1313.216 kg
    HCl = 450.045kg I = 2239.48 Y, 36% HCl
    O2 = 88.78 kg
    N2 = 17.71 kg
    H2O = 369.709 kg
    Overall balance
    I=G +Y
    HCl balance:
    450.045 = Amount of HCl in G + 0.36 x Y
    Water Balance:
    369.709 = Y x (1 – 0.36 - 0.005)
    ⇒ Y = 582.211 kg/hr
    Amount of chlorine in Y = 0.005 x 582.211
    = 2.911 kg/hr
    Amount of HCl in G = 450.045 – 0.36 x 582.11
    = 240.485 kg/hr
    ∴ G = I – Y = 2239.481 – 582.11 = 1657.281 kg/hr

    BALANCE AROUND EXPELLER:


    B, 98% HCl

    Y =582.11 D, 36% HCl


    36% HCl
    C, 22% HCl

    Overall balance: Y + D = B + C
    98% of B = 1800.277 kg/hr
    ⇒ Total amount of B = 1800.277/ 0.98
    = 1837.017 kg/hr.
    Now, Y = 582.11 kg/hr
    ∴ The overall equation can be represented as
    582.11 + D = 1837.017 + C (1)
    HCl balance:
    582.11 x 0.36 + 0.36 D = 0.98 B + 0.22 C (2)
    Solving 1 & 2 we get,
    C = 8132.956 kg/hr
    D = 9387.8462 kg/ hr

    F, 36% HCl
    Overall balance:
    G + C = E+ F
    ⇒ E + F = 2657.28 (1)
    Assuming 0.5% HCl present in the stream E, the HCl balance is:
    240.485 + 0.22 x 1000 = 0.005 E + 0.36 F
    ⇒ 0.005 E + 0.36 F = 460.485 (2)
