A flue gas flows at the rate of 10 k m o l / s 10 k

Question:

A flue gas flows at the rate of 10kmol/s at 298 K and 1 atm with a SO2 content of 0.15 mol%. 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 (Benítez, 1993) Yi=10Xi, where Yi=molSO2/mol air and Xi=molSO2/mol water.

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

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