Question: Air stripping ( 3 0 points ) a . Calculate the value of the stripping factor ( Rs ) . b . Calculate the number

Air stripping (30 points)
a. Calculate the value of the stripping factor (Rs).
b. Calculate the number of transfer units (NTU).
c. Calculate the height of a transfer unit (HTU) in m.
d. Calculate the height of the air stripper in m.
e. What is the closest answer given in the question statement above?
An air stripper will be used for reducing Compound X from a contaminated groundwater
containing 275\mu g/L to a level of 2\mu g/L. Use 1 g/mL for density of water if needed.
Dimensionless Henrys Law constant for Compound X is
0.5 KL a for stripper media is 50 hr-1
Air flow =100 m3/s
Water flow =1 m3/s.
Liquid (water) molar loading rate =10,000 mole/(s-m2)
The required height (m) of the stripper packing is most nearly:
A.74 B.65 C.18 D.1
