Problem (2)
n-ethylaniline is produced industrially by vapour-phase catalytic reaction of aniline and
ethanol. In a given plant, a reactant mixture of two thirds ethanol, C2H5OH, and one third
aniline, C6H5NH2, is reacted until two thirds of the aniline and half of the ethanol are converted.
The product is a mixture of aniline, ethanol, n-ethylaniline, C6H5NHC2H5, diethylaniline,
C6H5N(C2H5)2, water and 1% ethylene, C2H4. The published research on this process indicates
that the following set of reactions is generally accepted as taking place in the reactor:
C6H5NH2+C2H5OHC6H5NHC2H5+H2O
C2H5OHC2H4+H2O
C6H5NH2+C2H4C6H5NHC2H5
C6H5NHC2H5+C2H4C6H5N(C2H5)2
C6H5NHC2H5+C2H5OHC6H5N(C2H5)2+H2O
Calculate the composition of the reactor outlet stream.
