Aniline is produced by the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. The reaction takes place in a fluidized bed reactor operating at 270 °C and 20 bar. The excess heat of reaction is removed by a heat transfer fluid passing through tubes in the fluidized bed. Nitrobenzene vapor, hydrogen and inerts enter the reactor at a temperature of 260 "C. A typical reactor off gas composition, mole percent, is aniline 10.73, cyclo-hexylamine 0.11, water 21.68, nitrobenzene 0.45, hydrogen 63.67, inerts (take as nitrogen) 3.66. a. Carry out mass or material balance on the catalytic reactor b. Carry out energy balance on the same reactor for a feed rate of nitrobenzene to the reactor of 2500 kg/h Reaction: CHNO() +3H2(g)— C.
