Chemical Process

Chemical Process Definition


Chemical process is working activity in laboratory, house hold, industry and in many other activity. All incident in a nature also always exist of chemical process, and this chemical process is going on and on. Whithout our knowing it the chemical process in nature is happened. Many reason why the chemical process is happened, this process can happen by automatically or because any other contact or caused by living thing like microorganism.

Chemical process happened because of any chemical reaction there, the reaction can be between chemical or reaction caused by the existing of air in atmosphere. Basically there is a contact between them, or make by something else to contact each others. Microorganism can make it contact each others.

Chemical process in industry have purpose to produce something and the process of reaction must be controlled. The reaction process should be in certain place and secure, or even should be recondition the environment in order the reaction can go on. Chemical process in industry sometimes only knows if they are happen just in reactor but actually they are happen also in transportation like in the pipe when transport from one storage tank to other storage. The reaction on transportation also must be calculated in order get desired product quality. Because of this all the equipment should be calculate the time of process, so usually there is a flow diagram process like in viscose fiber production can show and predict how long the reaction of certain chemical process can going on.

Chemical Process Unit


The chemical process can happened in many equipment that use in industry for certain reaction, this equipment usually called as Chemical Process Unit.

Chemical process unit in chemical industry can be devide into several kind for example as follows:
  • Mixer
  • Blender
  • Heat Exchanger
  • Chemical Reactor
  • Digester
  • Absorber
  • Adsorber
  • Condenser
  • Pump
  • And many other


Chemical Process Reaction on the chemical process unit


The chemical reaction that can go on on the chemical processing unit can be as follow:

  • Organic chemical reaction or more familiar with organic chemistry
  • Inorganic chemical reaction
  • Biochemical reaction

Each or reaction can be :

Sodium Sulfite and Sodium Hydrosulfite

Sodium Sulfite Sodium sulfite is a compound that is very easily oxidized. For this reason, it is employed in many cases where a gentle reducing agent is desired, e.g. to bleach wool and silk, as an antichlor after the bleaching of yarns, textile and paper, as a preservative for foodstuffs, and to prevent raw sugar solution from colouring upon evaporation. It is very widely used in the preparation of photographic developer to prevent from oxidation from hydroquinone and other agents. It has a small application in the field of medicine as an antiseptic and as an antizymotic for internal use. About 60% of the total merchant market is in the paper Industries. While merchant capacity is about 145,000 t/year, the paper mills have twice capacity to captive use. The demand for boiler feed water treatment is about 15%. It is use to remove oxygen from water and thus help to prevent corrosion and scale formation. These were four major production in 1891, one of which provided 50% percent of the...

Viscose Fiber Production Process

Viscose fiber is a base material for textile industry. The first production of this kind product is in Indian than spread over the Europe and United States also in South Asia Country like in Indonesia. Viscose fiber is produced to anticipate the shortage of natural yarn for raw material to produce yarn in textile industries, beside synthetic yarn as replace natural cotton to produce fabric. This one is a simple drawing of viscose fiber production process . Viscose fiber is used to substitute the using of cotton as raw material for textile industry. Beside of cotton availability will not enough to supply market demand in the future, also cotton just available on harvesting season. If people just depend on cotton to produce textile then people will shortage of raw material to produce textile. Using viscose fiber to fulfill of textile industry will not any shortage raw material, beside the price is lower than cotton, viscose fiber also have better quality compare with synthetic fiber fo...

Sulfur

Sulfur or sulphur is a naturally occurring, yellow, water insoluble solid element. Its chemical symbol is S , its atomic number is 16 and its atomic weight is 32.064 sulfur is nonmetal and a member of the oxygen family of elements, which constitutes Group VIA of the periodic table. The discovery of sulfur predates recorded history, and the element has been used since ancient times. The early medical books of Dioscorides of Greece and Pliny the Elder mention sulfur, and fumes from burning sulfur were used in religious ceremonies and for fumigation. Alchemists recognized sulfur as a mineral substance that can be melted and burned. It was first classified as an element by Antonie Lavoisier in 1777. Sulfur Occurrence On earth, sulfur is widely distributed in its elemental state as a secondary mineral or as a volcanic deposit, as well as in combination with a number of metals. Large sedimentary deposits of the almost pure element, mainly of Tertiary age, are found in the coastal r...
