Butyl phthalate ( DBP ) is produced from the elemental reaction in liquid phase between monobutyl phthalate ( MBP ) and butanol by the following

Butyl phthalate (DBP) is produced from the elemental reaction in liquid phase between monobutyl phthalate (MBP) and butanol by the following reaction
MBP + BUTANOL DBP+H2O
A 1000 gallon batch reactor will be used which will be fed with an MBP concentration of 0.2LBMOLLFT3 while butanol will be fed 5 times the amount of MBP fed. The reactor will be operated isothermally at 100\deg F where the value of the reaction rate constant is 1,2FT3/(LBMOL*HR)
If the reaction time for each batch is estimated at 30 minutes, how many pounds of DBP per day can be produced based on an 85% conversion?
