Question
Ammonia is to be absorbed from air at 25°C and 1 atm pressure in a co-current packed tower
using ammonia free water as the absorbent at 25°C. An inlet gas rate of 4 kmol/hr will be used. The
ammonia concentration is reduced from 3.52 % to 1.29 % by volume. The equilibrium data at 25°C and 1
atm pressure is as follows:
X, (mol NH₂/mol H₂O)
0
0.0164 0.0252
Y, (mol NH₂/mol inert gas 0 0.0210 0.0320
Determine the following using graphical method:
(i) The (Q/Qc)min-
(ii) Actual water rate if water rate is 1.37 times the minimum.
(iii) Concentration of exiting aqueous stream.
