EXAMPLE 12-1. McCabe-Thiele analysis for dilute absorber 1000.0 kmol/h of air containing 100.0 ppm (mol) of chloroform at 25.0C and 2.0 atm is to be processed. We plan to absorb chloroform with pure water at 25.0C. Operation is at L/V = 1.4(L/V) min. If we want an outlet air stream containing 10.0 chloroform, how many equilibrium stages are required? ppm Solution
