    The document discusses potential processes for producing monochlorodecane (MCD) from readily available raw materials. It analyzes three reaction paths: chlorinating decane, chlorinating decene, and reacting decanol with hydrogen chloride. Path 1, chlorinating decane, is selected for further study due to its favorable economics. Input-output analysis is performed on Path 1 assuming production of 100 moles/hour of MCD. The components in the reactor effluent are classified and the raw material requirements, product and byproduct flowrates are depicted in a flowsheet. Separation synthesis is then performed by applying heuristic rules to synthesize an optimal separation sequence.

    Chlorinated decanes are used heavily in the manufacture of detergents. It is desired to set up a process for the
    manufacture of monochlorodecane, a straight-chain allyl alkyd (CH3(CH2)8CH2Cl, MCD), from readily available
    raw materials. In this case study we shall examine the alternative processes available and then synthesize an
    economically viable flowsheet by applying the techniques of process synthesis.

    1. Reaction path screening.

    Path 1 C10H22 + Cl2 CH3(CH2)8CH2Cl + HCl


    (decane) (MCD)
    C10H21Cl + Cl2 C10H20Cl2 + HCl
    (MCD) dichlorodecane (DCD)

    Laboratory data show that the ratio of DCD to MCD in the reaction products is 1 mole:4 mole. This path is
    analyzed in example 13.1 of page 262 of the Robin Smith book.

    Path 2
    C10H20 + HCl CH3(CH2)8CH2Cl
    Decene
    Path 3
    C10H21OH + HCl CH3(CH2)8CH2Cl + H2O
    Decanol

    The cost and physical properties of materials are known.

    Species M.W. NBP, C $/lbmole


    Decane (DEC) 143.35 174 4.8
    Decene 140.27 170.4 12.0
    Decanol (DOH) 158.285 230.1 14.0
    Chlorine 70.91 -34.2 1.77
    Hydrogen chloride 36.5 -85 1.0
    Monochlorodecane (MCD) 176.76 215 16.0
    Dichlorodecane (DCD) 211.19 241 2.0

    a) Which process should be selected for further study? Why? Explain with calculations. Use some basis of product
    produced for comparisons.

    2. Input-output analysis (do the following fort path 1)

    Pilot plant studies on the decane chlorination showed that the side reaction leading to the production of
    dichlorodecane can be reduced by maintaining a larger excess of decane in the feed.
    When a mole ratio of decane to chlorine of 5:1 is maintained in the reactor feed, the ratio of MCD to DCD
    in the reactor effluent rises to 19:1. All chlorine in the feed is consumed.

    b) Classify all of the components in the reactor effluent as in Table 1 of Douglas paper.
    c) How many product streams will be?
    d) Draw an input/output structure of the flowsheet (as in figure 1 of Douglas paper) showing raw materials
    requirements and product and byproduct flowrates. Use a basis of 100 moles/hr of MCD produced.
    e) What is the molar flow of components at the feed to the separation system?
    f) Calculate the conversion of decane and selectivity with respect to the decane.

    3. Separation synthesis.

    g) Apply the heuristic rules one by one as given in the Douglas paper, considering that hazardous and corrosive
    materials should be removed first. Discuss the consequence of each rule. Synthesize a separation sequence and give
    the resulting flow diagram.
