Question: A gas mixture containing 15 mole % A and 85 mole% inerts is fed to an absorption tower where it is contacted with liquid
A gas mixture containing 15 mole % A and 85 mole% inerts is fed to an absorption tower where it is contacted with liquid solvent B which absorbs A. The mole ratio of solvent to gas entering tower is 2 1. The gas leaving the absorber contains 2.5% A. 1.5% B and rest inerts on mole basis. Identify the correct statements (A) Overall flow rate of entering stream is 300 moles/hr (B) Percentage recovery of A is 90% (C) Percentage recovery of A is 85% (D) The flow rate of stream 'X' is 88.5 moles/hr
