Subroutine BIJS2. This subroutine calculates the pure-component and cross second virial coefficients for binary mixtures according to the method of Hayden and O Connell (1975). 

Example 2.3 Benzene is to be produced from toluene according to the reaction ... 

For example, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide can be removed from natural gas by reaction with monoethanolamine in an absorber according to the following reactions ... 

Separation of classes of components. If a class of components is to be separated (e.g., a mixture of aromatics from a mixture of aliphatics), then distillation can only separate according to boiling points, irrespective of the class of component. In a complex mixture where classes of components need to be separated, this might mean isolating many components unnecessarily. Liquid-liquid extraction can be applied to the separation of classes of components. 

Reactor conversion. In Chap. 2 an initial choice was made of reactor type, operating conditions, and conversion. Only in extreme cases would the reactor be operated close to complete conversion. The initial setting for the conversion varies according to whether there are single reactions or multiple reactions producing byproducts and whether reactions are reversible. 

The reaction is carried out in the gas phase sind normally operates at around 700°C and 40 bar. Some of the benzene formed undergoes a secondary reversible reaction to an unwanted byproduct, diphenyl, according to the reaction... 

Laboratory studies indicate that a hydrogen-toluene ratio of 5 at the reactor inlet is required to prevent excessive coke formation in the reactor. Even with a large excess of hydrogen, the toluene cannot be forced to complete conversion. The laboratory studies indicate that the selectivity (i.e., fraction of toluene reacted which is converted to benzene) is related to the conversion (i.e., fraction of toluene fed which is reacted) according to ... 

Example 4.4 Butadiene sulfone (or 3-sulfolene) is an intermediate used for the production of solvents. It can be produced from butadiene and sulfur dioxide according to the reaction ... 

There is now a simple explicit expression for the vapor rate in a single column in terms of the feed to the column. In order to use this expression to screen column sequences, the vapor rate in each column must be calculated according to Eq. (5.8), assuming a sharp separation in each column, and the individual vapor rates summed. 

In general, the flow of key components is constant and independent of the sequence, while the flow of nonkey components varies according to the choice of sequence, as illustrated in Fig. 5.8. 

Next, we carry out a heat balance within each shifted temperature interval according to Eq. (6.1). The result is given in Fig. 6.17. Some of the shifted intervals in Fig. 6.17 are seen to have a surplus of heat... 

To predict the capital cost of a network, it must first be assumed that a single heat exchanger with surface area A can be costed according to a simple relationship such as... 

Figure 8.3 Overall cost tradeoffs decomposed according to the onion model.

On the other hand, if the hazard is toxicity, process alternatives can be compared by assessing the mass of toxic material that would enter the vapor phase on release from containment, weighting the components according to their lethal concentration. 

The performance of anaerobic digestion processes varies according to the type of unit, throughput, and feed concentration, but such processes are typically capable of removing between 75 and 85 percent of COD. ... 

Once the distillation is integrated, then driving forces between the composite curves become smaller. This in turn means the capital/energy tradeofiF for the heat exchanger network should be adjusted accordingly. 

It was noted earlier that dryers are quite difierent in character from both distillation and evaporation. However, heat is still taken in at a high temperature to be rejected in the dryer exhaust. The appropriate placement principle as applied to distillation columns and evaporators also applies to dryers. The plus/minus principle from Chap. 12 provides a general tool that can be used to understand the integration of dryers in the overall process context. If the designer has the freedom to manipulate drying temperature and gas flow rates, then these can be changed in accordance with the plus/minus principle in order to reduce overall utility costs. 

Solution Figure 16.8a shows the hot-end design with the CP table. Above the pinch, adjacent to the pinch, CPfjSCPc- The duty on the units has been maximized according to the tick-oflF heuristic. 

The cost of the capital depends on its source. The source of the capital often will not be known during the early stages of a project, and yet there is a need to select between process options and carry out preliminary optimization on the basis of both capital and operating costs. This is difficult to do unless both capital and operating costs can be expressed on a common basis. Capital costs can be expressed on an annual basis if it is assumed that the capital has been borrowed over a fixed period (usually 5 to 10 years) at a fixed rate of interest, in which case the capital costs can be annualized according to... 

Gel permeation chromatography, exclusion chromatography. gel filtration chromatography. A technique for separating the components of a mixture according to molecular volume differences. A porous solid phase (a polymer, molecular sieve) is used which can physically entrap small molecules in the pores whilst large molecules pass down the column more rapidly. A solvent pressure up to 1000 psi may be used.
