Introduction
Acetone (dimethyl ketone, 2-propane, CH3COCH3), formulation weight 58,079, isthe simplest and the most important of the ketones. It is a colourless, mobile, flammableliquid with a mildly pungent and somewhat aromatic odour. It is miscible in all proportionswith water and with organic solvents such as ether, methanol, ethyl alcohol, and esters.Acetone is used as a solvent for cellulose acetate and nitrocellulose, as a carrier for acetyleneand as a raw material for the chemical synthesis of a wide range of products such as ketene,methyl methacrylate, bisphenol A, diacetone alcohol mesityl oxide, methyl isobutyl ketone,hexylene glycol ( 2-methyl-2, 4-pentanediol ), and isophorone.Acetone is often produced as a by-product in the production …show more content…
Take the 1.74 kg/s to calculate the molar flow rate by dividing by the molar mass of 0.058 kg/mole to obtain 29.9 mol/s. Use the selectivity table to calculate the amount of DE and PY formed according to the three reactions taking place. Use the molar ratios of the three simultaneous reactions to calculate the molar and mass composition of IP and WA in stream 1. Use mass balancing to calculate the molar and mass composition of IP, AC, DE, PY, HY and WA in stream 2. Use the ratio of the molar flow rates to calculate he molar and mass component of the water in stream 3. Calculate the amount of HY and PY in stream 4 by doing a mass balance. An economical calculation was done to determine whether stream 4 should be sold to add to the profit, or be discarded as waste. Given that the calculations yielded an amount of -$0.278 it is clear that this stream should be treated as a waste stream as the costs of extracting the stream to sell it is too expensive and is non-profitable. Continue the mass balance to calculate the molar and mass components of the IP, AC, DE and WA in stream 5. The components in stream 5 are portioned between streams 6 and 7 according to Raoult’s law. Stream 7 is discarded as a waste stream and is therefore not used in gross profit calculations. Do a mass balance to determine ow stream 6 is portioned between stream 8 and
