Question

A gasification plant of MSW produces syngas of the following

Component

Composition (dry volume %)

CO

30

H2

40

CO2

30

  1. Determine the weight percentage of syngas component. (MW: CO =28; H2 = 2; CO2 = 44)

(Hints: It is easier to start with 100 moles syngas and volume ratio is equal to molar ratio)
