In this case the other reactant is limiting i.e. it will limit the yield of product(s) (Key reactant) A reactant is in excess if it is present in a quantity greater than its stoichiometric proportion. % excess = [(moles supplied – theoretic moles required)/ theoretic moles required] x 100 6 Extent of reaction (x [xi]) - is equal to the amount of product P formed (reactant A consumed) during the reaction divided by the stoichiometric coefficient of this product (reactant) ξ = ν x is equal for all compounds in the reaction Conversion (z) [zeta] or X • relative degree of conversion - fraction of the amount of a reactant that has been converted Xi = (wi,0-wi)/wi,0 = (ni,0-ni)/ni,0 = (ci,0-ci)/ci,0 mass fractions number of moles concentrations [V=const.] Note: conversion may apply to single pass reactor conversion or overall process conversion value 0-1 or 0-100 % Example of conversion A B i.e. stoichiometric coefficients a = 1; b = 1 100 kmol fresh feed A; 90 % single pass conversion in reactor; unreacted A is separated (100%) and recycled and therefore overall process conversion is 100% R F reactor separation I P 7 Selectivity (s [sigma] or S) Selectivity – ratio between the amount of desired product P obtained and the amount of key reactant A converted x stoichiometric factor (−,) υ = (−,) υ stoichiometric factor = stoichiometric coef. of limit. reactant required per stoich. coef. of product Values 0 (no P formed) to 1 (all A which was consumed was converted to P) or 0-100 % other definition: ratio between the rate of forming desired product and rate of forming undesired product ratio of the moles desired product/moles byproduct for parallel or series reaction) x s.f. Yield (h [eta] or Y) Ratio between the amount of desired product obtained and the amount that could be obtained if all of key reactant were converted to product with 100% selectivity (in other way: ratio between reactant converted to desired product and total amount of reactant) hP = sP · zA (BATCH and CSTR) hP = (moles of the product P/moles limiting reactant supplied) x s.f. s.f. is the stoichiometric factor = stoichiometric coef. of limit. reactant required per stoich. coef. of product Material balance – recommended procedure • Draw a diagram of the balance sheet, marking nodes, streams and components • Writing assumptions • Writing equations stoichiometric chemical reactions • Choice of base calculation • Select the type of balance (mass x mole) • The conversion of the input data • Writing the matrix entries • Assembly of balance equations and additional relationships • Solving systems of equations • Check for correct calculation 8 Material balance Simple example of material balance Mixture containing 30 wt. % Benzene and 70 wt. % Toluene is injecting into continuous rectification column.

Gas product % conversion = (amount reactant Pyrite ore consumed/amount reactant supplied) x 100 % excess = [(moles supplied – Air Solid product stoichiometric moles)/stoichiometric moles] x 100 Results: Gas : N2 = 73.36 ,O2=11.5, SO2=15.14 wt.% Slag: Fe2O3 = 73.68, FeS2=5.82, ballast=20.5 wt.% 9 Mikrokinetics and macrokinetics Microkinetics Same for any apparatus Related to the behavior of molecules described by Physical Chemistry Rate constant, diffusion coefficient … Macrokinetics Dependent on the apparatus Related to the system as a whole (the size of the reactor) described by Chemical Engineering The volume of the reactor, transfer coefficients … Classification of chemical reactions General terms: homogeneous Number of phases: heterogeneous Process: batch injection continuous isothermal Reaction conditions: adiabatic isochoric isobaric Classification of chemical reactions Kinetic terms: Not influencing the position of the chemical equilibrium Activation: • thermal activation • activation by other reaction • activation by catalyst Influencing the position of the chemical equilibrium • light activation • by electrical energy • by nuclear radiation • ultrasonic activation Reaction order: first, second…, zero, fractional or negative order Elementary reaction Process: reversible Complex reaction parallel series elementary Reaction mechanism: non-elementary 10 Mikrokinetics Chemical production rate for component A • is defined as the number of moles of A produced per unit time and volume. -3 -1 rA [molA.m .s ] Directly measurable variable Chemical rates If a reaction proceeds according to stoichiometry AA+BB CC+DD • Chemical reaction rate r r r r r A B C D A B C D • rA - chemical production rate for component A • Value of rate depends on the stoichiometric equation Equation of chemical reaction rate • Irreversible elementary reaction • r=fT(T)fc(ci,cj,…..) • Ideal system • Molecularity k – reaction rate constant molecularity r k ci reactants A B r=kcA 2 2A B r=kcA A+BC r=kcAcB 11 Equation of chemical reaction rate Real system (non elementary reactions) a a A B r=kcA a b a A+ b BC r=kcA cB Reaction order expresses non-ideality reaction rate on the concentration Ideal system – reaction order=molecularity can be fractional
