    Sample Problem #3

    The document describes a problem involving the absorption of CO2 from a gas stream into an amine solution. The gas contains 10% CO2 and enters an absorption column. The column uses a 5N triethanolamine solution and operates at 25C with 6 theoretical plates. It absorbs 80% of the CO2. To calculate the moles of amine solution per mole of feed gas and the exit gas composition, equilibrium data is used along with material balances. The calculations show 1.64 moles of amine solution are needed per mole of feed gas, and the exit gas composition is 2.34% CO2.

    Sample Problem #3:

    The exit gas from an alcohol fermenter consists of an air-CO 2 mixture containing 10 mol% CO2
    that is to be absorbed in a 5.0 N solution of triethanolamine, which contains 0.04 mol of carbon
    dioxide per mole of amine. If the column operates isothermally at 25C, if the exit liquid
    contains 80% of the CO2 in the feed gas to the absorber, and if the absorption is carried out in
    a six-theoretical-plate column, calculate: (a) Moles of amine solution required per mole of feed
    gas (b) Exit gas composition
