Prob 3 CH 3 PDF

The document provides examples of calculations related to absorption column design and performance. Specifically, it gives details on calculating the number of ideal stages for removing acetone with 90% absorption based on inlet/outlet conditions and equilibrium relationship. It also gives an example of calculating the fraction of ammonia that could be absorbed with a given absorption factor and number of stages. Finally, it discusses the relationship between plate efficiency and the ratio of liquid to gas flow rates needed to achieve 95% removal of a component.

Examples

20.1 Calculate the number of ideal stages for the absorption column with
following input and output conditions:
Acetone in entering gas: 25 mol%
Acetone in entering oil: 1.5 mol %
Acetone in bottoms liquor, 8 mol%
Acetone absorbed 90%
Equilibrium relationship: 𝑦𝑒 = 1.9𝑥𝑒

20.4 If the ammonia absorber has 2% ammonia in the inlet gas and no
ammonia in the incoming water, what fraction of ammonia could be absorbed
with an absorption factor of 0.9 and 𝑁 = 5 or 𝑁 = 10

20.3 A column with eight plates and an estimated plate efficiency of 75% is
used to remove a component from a dilute gas by absorption in water. By what
𝐿
factor must the ratio exceed the slope of the equilibrium line to achieve the
𝐺
95% removal of component A
