Question

A packed tower is to be designed to recover 98% CO2 from a gas mixture containing 10% CO2 and 90% air using water. A relation y = 14x can be used for equilibrium conditions, where y is kg CO2/kg dry air and x is kg CO2/kg water. The water-to-gas rate is kept 30% more than the minimum value. Calculate the height of the tower if HTU is 1 meter.

Step 1

- The inlet gas contains 10% CO2 and 90% air by volume. We need to recover 98% of the CO2. - The outlet gas will therefore contain 2% of the original CO2 content, which is 0.2% CO2 and 99.8% air. Show more…
