The propylene glycol is considered to be one of the common organic compounds which can be used in many life applications. It can be used in antifreeze, pharmaceuticals and many applications as well. It can be produced by hydrolysis of propylene oxide that is accelerated by the catalysis of base or acid.
The goal of the experiment is to produce propylene glycol using water and propylene glycol as a reactant to synthesis propylene glycol. The purpose of doing this experiment is to converge and install a conversion reactor, and also to simulate a process having separation and reaction using i-con software. UNIQUAC fluid package is used in this properties package list. The feed stream used in here is 3850kg /h which is propylene oxide and a stream of water feed of about 4890kg/h.
Figure1: - Proses Flow Diagram Production of Propylene Glycol (C3H8O2).
The two streams which are Propylene oxide and water feed were to be set at a temperature of 25 C and a pressure of 100 kPa. A combination of Propylene oxide stream and water feed stream will begin simulation in the mixer equipment that is labelled as MIX-100 shown in the figure1. For the combination or mixing the …show more content…
Purity of production propylene glycol is (000)% mol at bottom product with (000)% mol water at Product stream. The bottom product does not exist of glycol oxide. For the top product that is stream 5 there is no output propylene glycol due to have been separated at the bottom product. The component at top product just only (000) % mol water and (000)mol% propylene oxide.
Figure2: - Proses Flow Diagram Production of Propylene Glycol (C3H8O2 with recycle).
Mostly at the top product where can reused back water by recycle in order it to prevent waste.
CONCLUSION
As the conclusion, this laboratory work is successful. The conversion was successfully.Thus, this simulation is acceptable due to purity of propylene glycol is above
