Question
Transcribed Image Text:(a) Figure Q2.1 illustrates the Process Flow Diagram (PFD) to produce ethane from ethanol.
Throughout this system, ethanol is feed to continuous reactor with presence of sulphuric
acid catalyzer to produce ethylene. Distillation process will be applied to separate
ethylene-H2O mixture. Then, ethylene as a top product is condensate by condenser to
perform liquid ethylene. Hydrogenation of ethylene applies in another reactor with
presence of Nickel catalyzer to produce ethane as a final product.
