Toluene hydrodealkylation to benzene is given by the reaction: C 6 H 5 - C H 3 + H 2 C 6 H 6 +

Toluene hydrodealkylation to benzene is given by the reaction: C6H5-CH3+H2C6H6+CH4
The rate of reaction can be calculated by r=kCT*CH0.9
k=A*exp(-ERT),A=31010 and E=209.213kJ*mol-1,
A stream containing 70.kmol*h-1 toluene, 160kmol*h-1CH4, and 4kmol*h-1 benzene at 800C and 26 bar is mixed with 370kmol*h-1H2 at 50C and 26 bar then fed to plug flow reactor . Considering a multitube reactor with a length of 10m and 500 tubes with 0.02m inner diameter. The reactor effluent at 815C is cooled to 120C and 1.5 bar then fed to absorber column (5 trays).n-dodecane is used as liquid solvent with 500kmol*h-1 at 100C to separate benzene from gas mixture. The efficiency of the column is 20%.Pressure and temperature at the column top and bottom of column is 1.5 bar and 100C
1- Calculate the flow rate of each stream and duty in cooler and reactor
2-Reaction conversion,
3-Plot the gradient of composition with reactor length.
4-Plot the gradient of gas and liquid composition on each tray
5-Calculate the conversion ratio of reaction with feed florrate of H2(200-800)kmol*h-1
