The production of cement results in significant GHG emissions. The emissions are caused by the decomposition of calcium carbonate (limestone) to calcium oxide (lime) and carbon dioxide. This process known as calcination, is carried out in kilns. Therefore, additional GHGs are emitted as a result of heating the kilns. A large cement manufacturer uses a mix of coal, natural gas, and biomass in its boiler. This mix produces the following amounts of GHGs per Million BTUs of energy: • 250 lbs CO2/MMBtu • 5 lbs CH4/MMBtu • 0.36 lbs N2O/MMBtu Process carbon emissions from the calcination process produce 925 lbs of carbon dioxide per metric ton of cement. In addition, the plant uses 1.7 Million BTUs of energy per metric ton of cement. If the plant produces 180,000 metric tons of cement annually, how many metric tons of CO2e does it emit?
A chemical manufacturer produces ethylene oxide by burning ethylene gas with air in the presence of catalyst. If the conditions are carefully controlled, a substantial fraction of ethylene remains unconverted and some is completely oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water. Formation of carbon monoxide is negligible. After the gases leaving the absorber is as follows: 9.6%CO2, 3.0%O2 and 6.4% ethylene. Of the ethylene entering the reactor, what percentage is converted to ethylene oxide?
Methanol (CH3OH) is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen via the reaction and process given below:   CO2+3H2→CH3OH+H2O       The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and 0.400 mol% inerts (I). The reactor effluent passes through a condenser that removes essentially all of the methanol and water formed and none of the reactants or inerts. The unreacted reactants and inerts are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycle. 100 mol/h of feed to the reactor (not the fresh feed to the process) contains 29.5 mol% CO2, 68.0 mol% H2, and 2.50 mol% inerts. The single-pass conversion of hydrogen is 46.71%. What is the recycle-to-fresh feed ratio?
