Question: QUESTION 2 Absorption process is carried out using a counter current scrubber where SO2 is absorbed from a gaseous mixture stream into N(CH2CH2OH)3H2O industrial solvent
QUESTION 2 Absorption process is carried out using a counter current scrubber where SO2 is absorbed from a gaseous mixture stream into N(CH2CH2OH)3H2O industrial solvent at 300K and 1atm. The SO2 initial concentration of 0.049kmol/kmol is reduced to 1.5% of this value. The solubility of SO2 in the solvent follows the equilibrium relationship of Y=1.67X, where Y is the kmol of SO2 per kmol of inert gas and X is the kmol of SO2 per kmol of solvent. The solvent enters the scrubber free of SO2 and leaves containing 0.019kmol of SO2 per kmol of solvent. If the flow of inert gas is 0.010kmol/m2.s of the cross-section and the gas phase resistance controls the process. If KGa=0.031kmol/m3,s, determine the following: i) The flow of the solvent (5) ii) The height of the absorption column required for the separation iii) Determine the number of transfer units required.
