Flue gas, the emitted gas produced when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, or wood are
burned for heat or power, may contain pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2). You are hired by
Fine Tuning LLC to analyze whether their current absorption column can handle the new source
of fuel they are using in their power plant. They have determined that the amount of SO2(S) in
the flue gas (assume to be air (A)) leaving the power production part of their plant is 9.51mol%.
Their absorption column has 4 equilibrium stages and operates with a pure water (W) flowrate of
3500.0molh, a temperature of 40C(313.15K), and a pressure of 3 bar. EPA emission
standards for SO2 in Air is 75 parts-per-billion (ppb) or 3.46mol%. Crimson Tide LLC is
requiring the SO2 levels to be at 3.0mol%, stricter than the EPA standards. How much flue gas
can Fine Tuning's absorption column treat (in molh, round to the hundredth (0.01) place)?
Assume no air dissolves in water and no water evaporates in air. Antoine's Constants are given
for log10 and T in K and P in bar. Wilson parameters are provided for SO2 and Water.
