A flue gas flows at the rate of 14kmol/s at 298K and 1atm with a SO2 content of 0.15mol96.8996 of the SO2 is to be removed by countercurrent absorption with pure water at 298K. The design water flow rate will be 50% higher than the minimum. Under these conditions, the equilibrium line is Yi=10xi Where Xi=molSO2/mol of water and Yi=molSO2/mol of air. a. Calculate the inlet water flow rate in kmol/s. (6 marks) b. Calculate the SO2 concentration (mol96) in the water leaving the absorber. (2 marks) c. Graphically determine the number of ideal stages required for this separation. Use the graph shared with you. (5 marks) d. What is the composition of SO2 (mol96) in the liquid stream leaving stage 2? (1 mark) QUESTION 2
