Chemical Reaction Sankey

This rather simple Sankey diagram represents the idealized mass balance for making ammonium bicarbonate. The chemical reaction is H2O + NH3 + CO2 → NH4HCO3. It is taken from a Polish web page on chemical process technology.

Idealized Mass Balance for Making of Ammonium Bicarbonate (taken from: http://www.geocities.com/jerzy_krol/Podr/TechChem/chemia.html)

The diagram is drawn with the freeware Sankey Helper. And it is nice to see that, while most of the Sankey diagrams are drawn with a left-to-right flow orientation, this one is top-to-bottom.

    Hi,

    I need to make one Kilo mixture of the following;
    1) water (25%)
    2) Ammonium Bicarbonate (35%)
    3) Mono-Methylamine (40%)

    Would you help and let me know that,
    How to mix them?
    Which one should be mixed first and why?

    Thank you.
    Gashi
