1 09 fl 21G BAe Srrons eT 6 : In the dilute concentration region equilibrium data for SO2 distributed between air and water can be approximated by pa=25%a where the partial pressure of SO: is expressed in atm. For an absorption column operating at 8 atm the bulk vapor and liquid concentrations in the column are ‘ya=0.04 and xa = 0.01. The mass transfer coefficients for this process are k’, = 10 kmol/(m? h) ' k’y = 8 kmol(m? h) a) Find K’, b) Determine interfacial compositions, xas and ya: and ¢) calculate the molar flux. ‘An SOz - air mixture is being scrubbed with water in a counter current-flow packed tower anarating of 20°C and 1 atm, Solute-free water enters the top of the tower. The liquor leaving contains 0.17 mol% SOz. The partial pressure of SO2 in the spent gas leaving the top of the tower is 3.1 kPa. The mole ratio of water to air is 25, and the equilibrium relationship is given by ya= 24.0 xa. Assume dilute solutions, a) What percent of the SO: in the entering gas is absorbed in the tower? b) The individual mass transfer coefficient in the liquid and gas phase are ky’ = 1.08-10% m/s and kg’ = 2.45-10% kmol/(m?s atm), respectively. At a point in the tower where the bulk liquid contains 0.10 mol% of SOs, what is the liquid concentration in kmol/m* and partial pressure in kPa of SO2 at the gas- liquid interface. ,f ammonia, the overall mass transfer coefficient 2, Inan experimental study of absorption of : Pa). At one point in the column the bulk gas Ke was found to be 2.74*10° kmol/ (m? phase contained 7 mol% ammonia and the bulk liquid phase concentration was 0.070 Emolim. The tower operated at 293 K and 1 atm. At that temperature, the Henry's 1aw tant Ha is 1 36°10? Pai(kmol/n). If 85% of the total resistance to the mass transfer is encountered in the gas phase, calculate: 4) the individual mass transfer coefficients ko and kr in the gas and liquid phase, respectively. b) The interfacial concentrations ya; and Xai Note: Express the Henry’s law by this formulation: pan Hatea where pa and ca are partial pressure and molar concentration of A, respectively.
