2. Under conditions of strong pore diffusion the reaction AR proceeds at 700C on a slowly deactivating catalyst by a first-order rate rA=0.03CA(mole/gcat.min) Deactivation is caused by strong adsorption of unavoidable and irremovable trace impurities in the feed, giving third-order deactivation kinetics, or dtda=3a3(1/day) It is planned to feed a packed bed reactor ( W=10kg ) with =100L/min of fresh A at 8atm and 700C until the catalyst activity drops to 10% of the fresh catalyst, then regenerate the catalyst and repeat the cycle. What is the run time for this operation? What will be the conversion at this time
