CASE
It is required to design a packed tower to treat 40000 ft3 /h of an air stream containing 20 mole% of so2 at 700c and 1 atm total pressure. It is necessary to recover 96% of the so2 using water at a rate 30% more than the minimum. The column may be
packed with 112
-inch Raschig rings and may be operated at 60% of the flooding
velocity. The individual mass transfer coefficients are / 3xk a=1.25kmol/m s and
/ 3yk a=0.075kmol/m s . Design the tower.

STEPS USED DURING DESIGN OF ABSORPTION COLUMN
• Selection of solvent• Selection of column type• Selection of packing• Equilibrium data• Material balance• Minimum solvent flow rate
![Page 5: FINAL DESIGN-OF-ABSORPTION-COLUMN](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5877b5dc1a28ab2c668b595d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

• Operating solvent flow rate• Flooding/Diameter calculation• Pressure drop• Height of packing

SOLVENT SELECTION
We Selected water(H2O) here: • Because it is cheap.• Non Toxic.• Easily available.• Universal solvent
![Page 7: FINAL DESIGN-OF-ABSORPTION-COLUMN](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062412/5877b5dc1a28ab2c668b595d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SELECTION OF PACKING
We have selected random packing here:• Because pressure drop is nearly negligible in our case.• It is cheap as compare to structured .

MATERIAL AND TYPE OF PACKING
Raschig ring 1.5 inches.Ceramic material.Because they have:• High Strength.• High Fracture Toughness.• High Hardness.• Excellent Wear Resistance.• Good Frictional Behaviour.

CONTINUED…Conversion is as follows:
The equilibrium (x, y) data are converted to mole ratio unit (X, Y) and plotted on X-Y plane. As shown below. The cure is slightly convex upward. So the operating line corresponding to the minimum liquid rate will not touch the equilibrium line. It will rather meet the equilibrium line at the point having an ordinate Y1 (0.25). This is the pinch point having abscissa = (X1)max = 0.0015.
