Absorption additional exercises:

1. At 303 K the concentration of CO2 in water is 0.9 × 10−4 𝑘𝑔 𝐶𝑂2 ⁄𝑘𝑔 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟. Using the
Henry’s constant from Appendix A.3 what partial pressure of CO2 must be kept in the gas to
prevent CO2 from vaporizing from the aqueous solution?

2. A gas mixture at total pressure of 2.026 × 105 𝑃𝑎 containing air and SO2 is brought into
contact in a single-stage equilibrium mixer with pure water at 293 K. The partial pressure of
SO2 in the original gas in 1.52 × 104 𝑃𝑎. The inlet gas stream contains 5.70 total kg mol and
the inlet water stream contains 2.20 total kg mol. The exit gas and liquid leaving are in
equilibrium. Calculate the amounts and compositions of the outlet phases. Use the following
equilibrium data:
3. A tray tower is used to remove 99% of ammonia from an entering air stream containing 6 mol%
ammonia at 293 K and 1.013 × 105 𝑃𝑎. The entering pure water flow rate is 188 kgH2O/h.m2
and the inert air flow is 128 kg air/h.m2.Using the graphical method. Determined the number
of theoretical trays. Use equilibrium data from appendix A.3 for the dilute end of the tower.
4. A 160 kg mol/h gas stream from a chemical reactor contains 25 mol% ammonia with
the remainder of the gas being inert. The outlet gas concentration is to be 2.0 mol%
ammonia. Using a counter current absorption tower operating at 303K and 101.3 kPa,
the feed gas is scrubbed with water containing 0.005 mol frac ammonia is the scrubbing
liquid. Using the equilibrium diagram to find solutions to the following questions:

4.1.What is the minimum absorption absorbent flow rate (Lmin)?


4.2.How much ammonia (composition) is removed from the gases in the absorber?
4.3.Determine the number of theoretical stages at 1.5 times the minimum absorbent rate
using both graphical and analytical solution.
