3.23b. Kremser equations: absorption of sulfur dio ide.
A flue gas flows at the rate of 10 kmol/s at 298 K and 1 atm with a SO2 content of 0.15 mole %.
Ninety percent of the sulfur dioxide is to be removed by absorption with pure water at 298 K. The
design water flow rate will be 50% higher than the minimum. Under these conditions, the
equilibrium line is (Ben tez, J., P oce Enginee ing and De ign fo Ai Poll ion Con ol,
Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1993):

where Xi = moles SO2/mole of water; Yi = moles SO2/mole of air.

a) Calculate the water flow rate and the SO2 concentration in the water leaving the absorber.

Solution

b) Calculate the number of ideal stages required for the specified flow rates and percentage
SO2 removal.
