The accounting of all mass in a chemical/pharmaceutical process is referred to as a mass (or material) balance.

Uses
• ‘day to day’ operation of process for monitoring operating efficiency
• Making calculations for design and development of a process i.e. quantities required, sizing equipment, number of items of equipment

Simple example – batch mixing process
200 kg of a 40% w/w methanol/water solution is mixed with 100 kg of a 70% w/w methanol/water solution in a batch mixer unit.
What is the final quantity and composition?
![Page 5: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
continued
Total initial mass = total final mass = 300 kgInitial methanol mass = final methanol mass80 + 70 = final methanol mass = 150 kgTherefore final composition of batch is
(150/300) x 100 = 50 % by wt.

Exercise
1000 kg of 8% by wt. sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is required. 20% sodium hydroxide solution in water and pure water are available. How much of each is required?

Paul Ashall, 2008
Batch processes
Batch processes operate to a batch cycle and are non-steady state. Materials are added to a vessel in one operation and then process is carried out and batch cycle repeated. Integral balances are carried out on batch processes where balances are carried out on the initial and final states of the system.
![Page 8: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Batch cycle
• Sequence of operations/steps repeated according to a cycle
• Batch cycle time• Batch size

Paul Ashall, 2008
Continuous processes
These processes are continuous in nature and operate in steady state and balances are carried out over a fixed period of time. Materials enter and leave process continuously.
![Page 11: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Law of conservation of mass
When there is no net accumulation or depletion of mass in a system (steady state) then:
Total mass entering system = total mass leaving system
or total mass at start = total final mass
![Page 12: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
General mass balance equation
Input + generation – output – consumption = accumulation
Notes: 1. generation and consumption terms refer only to generation of products and consumption of reactants as a result of chemical reaction. If there is no chemical reaction then these terms are zero.
2. Apply to a system3. Apply to total mass and component mass

Exercise
A 1000 kg batch of a pharmaceutical powder containing 5 % by wt water is dried in a double cone drier. After drying 90 % of the water has been removed. Calculate the final batch composition and the weight of water removed.

Exercise – batch distillation
1000 kg of a 20% by wt mixture of acetone in water is separated by multistage batch distillation. The top product (distillate) contains 95% by wt. acetone and the still contains 2% acetone. Calculate the amount of distillate.
![Page 22: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Use of molar quantities
It is often useful to calculate a mass balance using molar quantities of materials and to express composition as mole fractions or mole %.
Distillation is an example, where equilibrium data is often expressed in mole fractions.
![Page 23: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Molar units• A mole is the molecular weight of a substance
expressed in grams• To get the molecular weight of a substance you need
its molecular formula and you can then add up the atomic weights of all the atoms in the molecule
• To convert from moles of a substance to grams multiply by the molecular weight
• To convert from grams to moles divide by the molecular weight.
• Mole fraction is moles divided by total moles• Mole % is mole fraction multiplied by 100
![Page 24: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Molar units
Benzene is C6H6. The molecular weight is (6x12) + (6x1) = 78
So 1 mole of benzene is 78 grams1 kmol is 78 kg
![Page 25: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Exercise – batch distillation
1000 kmol of an equimolar mixture of benzene and toluene is distilled in a multistage batch distillation unit. 90 % of the benzene is in the top product (distillate). The top product has a benzene mole fraction of 0.95. Calculate the quantities of top and bottom products and the composition of the bottom product.

Mass balance - crystalliserA crystalliser contains 1000 kg of a saturated solution of potassium
chloride at 80 deg cent. It is required to crystallise 100 kg KCl from this solution. To what temperature must the solution be cooled?
![Page 27: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Paul Ashall, 2008
At 80 deg cent satd soln contains (51.1/151.1)x100 % KCl i.e. 33.8% by wt
So in 1000 kg there is 338 kg KCl & 662 kg water.Crystallising 100 kg out of soln leaves a satd soln
containing 238 kg KCl and 662kg water i.e. 238/6.62 g KCl/100g water which is 36 g KCl/100g. So temperature required is approx 27 deg cent from table.

Paul Ashall, 2008
Limiting reactant/excess reactant
• In practice a reactant may be used in excess of the stoichiometric quantity for various reasons. In this case the other reactant is limiting i.e. it will limit the yield of product(s)
![Page 45: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
continued
A reactant is in excess if it is present in a quantity greater than its stoichiometric proportion.
% excess = [(moles supplied – stoichiometric moles)/stoichiometric moles] x 100
![Page 46: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Paul Ashall, 2008
Conversion
• Fractional conversion = amount reactant consumed/amount reactant supplied
• % conversion = fractional conversion x 100
Note: conversion may apply to single pass reactor conversion or overall process conversion
![Page 48: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Paul Ashall, 2008
Yield
Yield = (moles product/moles limiting reactant supplied) x s.f. x 100
Where s.f. is the stoichiometric factor = stoichiometric moles reactant required per mole product
![Page 49: Mass Balance (Powerpoint)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082205/586b70d91a28ab11118c29ae/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Extent
Extent of reaction = (moles of component leaving reactor – moles of component entering reactor)/stoichiometric coefficient of component
Note: the stoichiometric coefficient of a component in a chemical reaction is the no. of moles in the balanced chemical equation ( -ve for reactants and +ve for products)
