QUESTION 1 Answer BOTH parts (a) and (b)
In Tutorial 2 Question 3, a chemical absorption column was designed to absorb H2S(reactant A) using MEA (reactant B). The mole ratios of A at the inlet and outlet of the column were 3.5710-3 and 1.010-3 respectively while the concentration of MEA at the inlet was 250molm3.
Data:
kgAA=60molm2(s)(atm),kLA=0.03s-1
HA=10-4m3(atm)mol,DBDA=0.64
PT=20atm,CT=56000molm3,G=1000molm2(s)
(a) Determine the (L/G) ratio which can be applied if the chemical absorption column is to be operated with a complete Surface Reaction Zone and a complete Interior Reaction Zone.
(b) Hence, calculate the height of the chemical absorption column required.
