6.33. A gas stream containing 40.0 mole\% hydrogen, 35.0% carbon monoxide, 20.0% carbon dioxide, and 5.0% methane is cooled from 1000C to 10C at a constant absolute pressure of 35atm. Gas enters the cooler at 120m3/min, and upon leaving the cooler, is fed to an absorber where it is contacted with refrigerated liquid methanol that enters the absorber at a molar flow rate 1.2 times that of the inlet gas and at 15C. Essentially all of the CO2 is absorbed, as is 98% of the methane and an inconsequential amount of the other components of the feed gas. The gas leaving the absorber is saturated with methanol at 12C and is fed to a reactor for further processing. (a) Calculate the volumetric flow rate of methanol entering the absorber (m3/min) and the molar flow rate of methanol in the gas leaving the absorber. Do not assume ideal-gas behavior when doing PVT calculations. (b) List and explain at least three hazards associated with the system described. (c) One of the possible uses of the product gas is as a feed to a reactor in which the water-gas shift reaction takes place: H2+CO2H2O+CO. Explain the effect of removing CO2 before introducing the feed to the reactor
