1. In an ammonia converter the fresh feed is 75.16% H₂, 24.57% N₂ and 0.27% Ar. The fresh feed is mixed with the recycle gas to give a mixed feed to the reactor containing 79.52% H₂, while the recycle gas leaving the NH3 separator contains 80.01% H₂ and no NH3. The product NH3 may be assumed to contain no dissolved gases. (a) Calculate, per 100 kmole of fresh feed, how much kmole are recycled and how many are purged from the recycle. (b) What is the single pass conversion of H₂? 2. The catalytic dealkylation of toluene to benzene involves recycling of unreacted toluene after removal of by-product phenylbenzene as given in the process flowchart. Conversion of toluene per pass is 25%, and yield of benzene (based on toluene consumed) per pass is 75%. Determine: the flow rate of each streams, quantity of recycled stream, quantity and composition of purge stream and quantity of H₂ make up.
