Student 2 (Stoichiometric Table)

In this stage 2, student 2 were assigned to do a stoichiometric table and the raw
material increment from 0% to 100% for the production of vinyl chloride. The pyrolysis
process will be used to produce Vinyl Chloride. Vinyl chloride is produced by EDC pyrolysis
(heat cracking). In a furnace, an endothermic reaction was performed by EDC pyrolysis. The
furnace has four primary parts: a section for radiation, a section for convection, a section for
shock, and a stack. The heat needed for endothermic reaction is delivered from the firebox
burners by combustion of petrol (J. Dry, B. Lawson et.al, 2003). At 500 °C, the fire box
works. A homogeneous, first order free radical chain mechanism is the primary response
that produces VCM and HCl. Based on the equation below, 1 mole of ethylene dichloride
(EDC) undergoes pyrolysis process to produce 1 mole of vinyl chloride and 1 mole of
hydrogen chloride.
