Pure ethanol vapor is fed to a reactor packed with alumina catalyst, at the rate of 100 kmole / hr. The reactor products comprise: ethylene :95 kmole / hr, water vapour: 97.5 k mole / hr and diethyl ether :2.5 kmole/hr. The reactions occuring can be represented by:C₂H₅OH → C₂H₄ + H₂O2C₂H₅OH → C₂H₅ - O - C₂H₅ + H₂OThe percent conversion of ethanol in the reactor is |
