Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.79P
A two-unit process is used to separate H2S from a gas containing 96% H2 and 4% H2S by volume. The H2S is absorbed in a solvent, which is then regenerated by air in a stripping column. The Henry’s law constant for the absorption of H2S in the solvent at 0°C is 22 atm/mole fraction.
- Brie?y explain in your own words the functions of the three process units. Include in your explanation the purpose of the air in the stripper and the reason the stripper operates at a higher temperature than the absorber.
- Calculate the molar ?ow rate of pure solvent and the volumetric ?ow rate of the gas at G4, neglecting evaporation of solvent in both columns. (See ?owchart.) Exploratory Exercise—Research and Discover (c) The objective of the process described above is to produce puri?ed hydrogen. However, in doing so the process also generates an effluent stream containing H 2S. Identify at least three concerns with simply releasing this stream into the air. Suggest an add-on to the process that allays as many of these concerns as possible. Calculate the mass per 100 mol of G 1 of any reactant required by the add-on. Identify any new concerns created by the add-on.

A student determined the molar mass of an
unknown non-dissociating liquid by the
method described in this experiment. She
found that the equilibrium temperature of a
mixture of ice and pure water was indicated
to be +0.4°C on her thermometer. When she
added 9.9 g of her sample to the mixture, the
temperature, after thorough stirring, fell to
-3.7°C. She then poured off the solution
through a screen into a beaker. The mass of
the solution was 84.2 g.

Oil reservoirs below ground frequently are in contact with underground water and, in connection with an oil drilling operation, you are asked to compute the solubility of water in a heavy oil at the underground conditions.
