Question:

Replace the current catalyst with the new catalyst (maintain the same feed rate and conditions) and

a. Provide a flow table (similar to that in Figure 23. 6).

b. Compare cumene production with the new to the old catalyst.

c. Compare DIPB production with the new to the old catalyst.

Problems 23. 17-23.20 investigate the performance of the cumene reactor (fluidized bed), described in Section 23. 5.2, that results from replacing the catalyst. The replacement catalyst kinetics are given in Table 23. 2. The base case selected is the currently operating reactor (with an active volume of \(\left.7.49 \mathrm{~m}^{3}ight)\). Process output for the base case is given in the flow table in Figure 23. 6.
