Question: In a packed column with a cross - sectional area of 0 . 2 m 2 , acetone will be adsorbed with pure water at

In a packed column with a cross-sectional area of 0.2 m2, acetone will be adsorbed with pure water at 25oC and 1 atm. There is 2 mol% acetone in the feed gas and 0.4 mol% acetone in the outlet gas. The equilibrium relation can be taken as y =1.2x. Gas flow is 15 kmol inert air/hour, pure water inlet flow is 55 kmol water/hour. It is given as the fraction K in the column =2,25.10-2 kmol/s.m3.mol. Calculate the column length (hint: Vort/S (y1-y2)= K to z (y-y*)M).
