Question

2H2S (g) + SO2 (g)--> 3S (s) + 2H2O (g)

the facility is shown in Figure 1 on page 2. Due to the difficulty (and cost) of achieving high purity, the input streams (F1 and F2) both contain significant concentrations of CO2. The input feeds (F1 and F2) are blended to achieve a stoichiometric ratio of H2S and SO2 and are subsequently combined with a recycle stream and fed into the reactor. The solid sulfur is completely removed in the solids separator while the water is completely removed in a condenser. The stream leaving the condenser splits into a purge stream and the recycle stream. The flow rate in F1 is 100 mol/sec and the process achieves a 95% conversion of H2S. In addition, the recycle to feed ratio is R/f0=15

a)What is the single pass conversion of the reactor?

Explanation / Answer

Single pass conversion: based on what goes into and comes out of the reactor. In this case it is 95%
