Recycle
Normally in chemical reaction, some of unreacted reactant also found
in the product.
This unreacted reactant can be separated and recycle back to the
reactor
Fresh
Feed Product
Reactor Separator

Purpose of Recycle
1. Recovery of catalyst – catalyst is very expensive
25 mol A/min
Overall Conversion
Reactant input to Process – reactant output from Process

Purging
To prevent any inert or insoluble substance build- up and
accumulate in the system
Purge stream and recycle stream before and after the purge
have a same composition.
