An analysis of the gases entering the converter of an ammonia oxidation nitric acid 90% of the NH3 entering an NH3-oxidation
ion unit is converted to HNO3 and 10% loss of

plant indicates that the gases contain 0.066 lb of NH3 and 0.934 lb of air per pound NH3 is due to conversion losses, NO in the stack gases and miscellaneous losses. The
of gas. A sample of gases leaving the converter is absorbed in hydrogen peroxide and kg of of NH3 necessary to produce 60,000 kg of 62 wt% HNO3 is
titrated with NaOH. The results indicate that 1 lb of the gas leaving the converter
contains 0.00361 lbmol of NO (assume no NO formed). The percent of NH3 converted to
NO converter is
The electrolytic reaction for the production of aluminum may be written as Al2O3 + A water solution of molasses contains 10% by weight sucrose (C12H22O11). The CO2
1.5C  2 Al + 1.5 CO2, 235, 000 cal of energy (in the form of electricity) is formed in the reaction can be considered having a negligible solubility in the
consumed for the production of 2 gmol of Al. some CO is also formed in a reaction solution and the last 10% of the sugar can be assumed as unchanged. The weight
requiring more energy. On the basis of the reaction evolving CO2, the current percent of ethyl alcohol in the solution after 90% of the sucrose has been converted
efficiency may be taken as 35%. This means that only 35% of the current passing to ethyl alcohol by fermentation is
through the cell is available at a cost of 1 centavo per kWh, the amount to be paid
for electrical power per lb of Al produced is
At a plant which produces H2SO4 by the contact process, a large storage tank A 20% aqueous solution of Na2CO3 and 25% aqueous solution of Ca(OH)2 were reacted to
currently holds 100,000 kg of oleum, where 20% oleum means that in 100 kg of produce caustic soda solution. The precipitate which formed was analyzed to contain
material there is 20 kg of SO3 dissolved in 80 kg of pure H2SO4. The tank has a 5% H2O, 1% NaOH, 94% CaCO3. The concentration of NaOH solution produced is
total capacity when filled of 130,000 kg. If water is added to the tank to fill it
just to its capacity, the weight percent of H2SO4 in the final mixture of the tank
is
A plant near Maria Cristina Falls is to manufacture NH3 by using a stoichiometric In the lime soda process for caustic soda manufacture, lime is made to react with
mixture of N2 and H2. Electrolytic H2 is to be reacted with air to produce NH3. The water and then with soda ash. Composition of raw materials are: Lime: 54% CaO, 1.5
moles of H2 present in the mixture when 100 moles of pure electrolytic H2 is used is MgO and inerts; soda ash: 50%Na2CO3 and inerts. The metric tons of lime that will be
needed to produce 100 MT of 25% liquid NaOH is
In a liquid Cl2 plant, chlorine gas with some H2 gas is liquefied, with part of Cl2 The MT of CaCO3 needed to produce 100 MT of soda ash daily by the solvay process is
made to form HCl, according to the following diagram:
The Cl2 sent to HCl synthesis plant in MT is

Using the data given below, the MT of rock phosphate [CaFCa4 (PO4)3] needed to A cement company uses 3000 MT of gypsum a month. If 40 MT of this gypsum are needed
produce 6000 MT of 90% purity superphosphate is for every 1000 MT of clinker to produce Portland cement, the MT clinker produced
monthly by the cement plant is
Rock phosphate = 90% purity
Overall reaction efficiency = 90%
Sulfuric acid = 60 deg Be
60 deg Be Sulfuric acid is 77.67% H2SO4
Reactions:
A cement clinker with the following analysis: Bauxite containing 61% Al2O3 and 8% SiO2 is roasted and dissolved in caustic soda to
form which iron present is precipitated and filtered out. By suitable treatment,
CaO = 64% hydrated Al2O3 is precipitated in very pure form with a recovery of 89% of the
original Al2O3. The SiO2 remains behind as NaSiO3. The precipitated hydrated Al2O3
SiO2 = 21% is dehydrated and forms the charge to an aluminum furnace. If liquid caustic soda
(50% NaOH) costs Php 2300 per MT, what will be the cost of the caustic soda needed
Fe2O3 = 6.5% for producing 1000 kg of pure Al2O3 assuming 10% more than the theoretical amount of
NaOH needed is used?
Al2O3 = 7.5%
Reactions:
is produced at a rate of 2000 MT per day. The materials used are limestone (CaCO3
and inert materials) containing 97% CaO; iron oxide (Fe2O3 and inert materials)
containing 85% Fe2O3; Shale (SiO2, Al2O3 and inerts) containing 60% SiO2 and 25%
Al2O3 and silica with 90% SiO2 and 10% inerts. The MT of silica required for a 300 -
day operation per year is
