Question

(a) Name 5 industries where sulfuric acid are used. (b)Name the four main process steps in the production of sulfuric acid from gases con- taining sulfur dioxide. 2. A liquid mixture containing 40 mole% X, 20 mole% Y, and the balance Z is fed to a dis- tilation column. The bottoms product contains 94.0 mole%Zand no X, and 98.0 mole% of the Zin the feed is recovered in this The overhead productis fed to a second column. The overhead product from the second column contains 96% of the X in the feed to this column. The composition of this stream is 95 mole% X and the balance Y. (Mark: 35%) (a) Draw and label a flowchart of this process and do the degree of freedom analysis to prove that for an assumed basis of calculation, molar flow rates and compositions of all process streams can be calculated from the given information. (b) Calculate all the unknowns.

Explanation / Answer

The major use of sulfuric acid is in the fertiliser industry.

It is used in refining crude in oil industries

Sulphuric acid is also used in the treatment of metals to remove impurities and rust.

Sulphuric acid is used in the manufacturing of lead type acid batteries.

Also it is used chemical industries in manufacturing processes of other chemicals.
