Question: 2 . His used to scrub NCHO ( formaldehyde ) from a waste gas stream in an absorption column t flow rates contains 5 0

2. His used to scrub NCHO (formaldehyde) from a waste gas stream in an absorption column t flow rates contains 500 kgh HOHO and 1900 kgh N, and is at 60C. The ratio of water to waste g flow rates 4:1 The waste gas is fed into the bottom of the absorption column and meets a counter current stream of HO entering the top of the column at 20C. The scrubbed N, leaves the top of the column 20c (1) What is the flow rate of the RO-HCHO solution leaving the base of the column? Assume that t the HCHO is scrubbed from the waste gas and dissolves in the water. (ii) What is the temperature of the HO-HCHO solution which leaves the base of the column? Hints: (1) Assume datum/reference temperature (To) as 0C,(2) Energy in Energy out + Accumulation, (3) Energy - Stream flow rate x Specific heat x Change in temperature (T-Ta) Where accumulation could be a heat of reaction or heat of solution 1.04 klkg K 1.18 kJkgK 4.187 kJkgK -87.9 kimol 4.187 kJkg Specific heat of N.(gas) Specific heat of HO-HCHO solution Heat of solution of formaldehyde in water H-1:C-12; O =16; N-14
