Question:

A plate column is being considered for removal of SO2 by absorption in water. The SO2 concentration is 500 ppm, and the air rate is 560 ft3/min at 1 atm and 80°F. The equilibrium relationship for dilute solutions at 80°F is y = 31.5x. 

(a) What is the minimum liquid rate in gal/min for 90 percent removal? 

(b) How many ideal stages are needed if the liquid rate is 1.5 times the minimum?
