Ok thanks. The one area I am still concerned about is what the reaction products are from adding H2SO4 to Na2HPO4? H2SO4 + Na2HPO4 = Na2SO4 + H3PO4...?

The feed stream has been determined by another student and it is what I have been given to deal with so I will have to adjust their results for this. Thanks for pointing that out. I am guessing the reaction will give: NaOH + NaH2PO4 = Na2HPO4 + H2O So my material balance will alter based on...

Just to clarify what I am after as I feel I have not been 100% clear in my earlier posts: A constant stream is leaving a reactor and consists of the following components with molar, mass and volume flowrates per hour stated: Penicillin G (C16H18N2O4S) = 11.82mol/h, 3.96kg/h, 2.8l/h...

Hi Borek. Thanks for getting in touch. I know all the identities, mass flowrates, molar flowrates, volumetric flowrates, etc. The volumetric flow data for my inlet stream is as follows: C8H8O2, Phenylacetic acid = 72.9 litres/hour NaOH, Sodium Hydroxide = 10.3 litres/hour H2O, Water = 2836.5...

Hi, I am looking for some guidance for calculating the amount of H2SO4 required to reduce the pH of a Reactor outlet stream from 8.7 to somewhere in the 1.5-2.0 region. The stream contains a number of components in varying amounts such as C8H8O2, NaOH, H2O, Na2HPO4, NaH2PO4, C8H12N2O3S and...
