Question

Ammonia, at a partial pressure of 12 torr in a 2,000-lb/hr air stream saturated with water vapor at 68oF and 1 atm, must be removed to the extent of 99.6% by water absorption at the same temperature and pressure. (a) Calculate the minimum amount of water using the equilibrium data  in Figure. (b)Assuming twice the minimum water flow and one-half the flooding gas velocity, compute the dimensions of a column packed with 38-mm ceramic Berl saddles. (c) Repeat part (b) for 50-mm Pall rings. (d) Which of the two packings would you recommend?
