Assuming Henry's law is applicable to the NH3 over the range of concentration involved, what will be the equilibrium partial pressure of the NHs when the solution contains 1 mol% NHs and 89mol% water if the temperature is 90°F? The density of aqueous solution of NH3 containing 1 mol% NH3 at 90°F maybe taken as 61.9 lb/ft? A continuous absorption tower is used for absorbing HCI in water, 200 Ibmols/hr of gaseous mixture containing 5 moles of HCI per 2 mols of air enters the bottom of the tower, and 15000 Ib of pure water enters the top of the tower per hour. The aqueous HCI solution leaving the bottom of the tower contains 1 mole of HCI for every 7 mols of H20. Assuming no water is vaporized in the tower, determine the moles of HC! /mol of air in the exit gas stream. In a CO2 absorber using carbonate solution as absorbent, 1000 kgmols of flue gases containing 50%v C02, the balance being inert gases is fed into the column. The lean gas leaves the absorber with 2%v CO2. Calculate the quantity of COa2, in kg/hr, that is recovered from the regeneration of the fat liquor. . The average flow conditions existing in a packed tower with % inch ceramic Raschig rings are: Gas Liquid Molal flow 80lbmols/hr 40lbmols/hr_ Density 0.30Ib/t® 65 Ibrft? M 100 150 u 4.6cP Based on the gas tower velocity of 50% of the flooding velocity, what should be the tower diameter? The equilibrium data for a certain absorption may be represented by the ‘equation Y = 5.2x2 where x = kmols of dissolved absorbable material per kmol of pure absorbing liquid, and Y = kmols of gaseous absorbable material per kmol of inert gas. The unit is operated as continuous countercurrent absorption. The entering gas contains 5 mols of absorbable material per 20mols of inert gas. The absorbing liquid enters the column as a pure material. If the gas leaving the tower contain 1 mole absorbable material per mol inert gas, calculate the minimum mols of liquid to gas ratio.
