PROBLEM 1. SUB-TOTAL 100

Methanol is dehydrogenated in a catalytic reactor to form formaldehyde in the reaction:
CH3OH → HCHO + H2
Formaldehyde in the reactor product is separated from the unreacted methanol and hydrogen. The
production rate of formaldehyde is 30 kmol. If the conversion is 60%, calculate the required feed rate of
methanol to the process in kmol.

Solution :
production rate of HCHO = 30 kmol

fractional conversion = 0.60
