I know selectivity is = No of mole of desired product formed/ No of mole of reactant took part in the reaction (reactant Basis)

 

Ethylene Oxide example

Considering only first two reactions (No further oxidation of EO)

 

Assume 153 Kmol/hr of EO forms

 

So if I have 90% selectivity that means I will have 34 Kmol/hr of CO2. (As every 1 mole ethylene produces 2 mol of CO2)

 

Another thing selectivity is for overall process so with recycle right?

 

 

Much appreciated.
