Question:
A packed column is used to remove toluene from water by stripping with air. The water contains 60 ppm toluene (weight basis), and the concentration must be reduced to 2 ppm. The column will operate at 20°C and an average pressure of 1.1 atm. The equilibrium relationship is Ptol = 256x where Ptol = partial pressure of toluene, atm, in the gas phase, and x mol fraction of toluene in the liquid.
(a) Determine the minimum air rate in g mol/min for a water rate of 100 L/min.
(b) Calculate Nox for an air rate twice the minimum.
(c) Determine the packed height required if Hy = 0.7 m and Hx = 0.6 m.
