Gas Absorption
1
Definition of Absorption:
•Absorption is a (column-type) process that
separates components of a gas mixture by their
solubility differences in the added solvent.
•In absorption, solute(s) is transferred from the
gas phase to the liquid phase.
•Desorption/stripping: the reverse of gas
absorption: recover valuable solute from the
absorbing solution and regenerate the solvents.In
stripping, the transfer is from the liquid to the gas
phase.

Tower height ZT
(1)Calculation from HETP: ZT=HETP*NT.
(2)Calculation from the number of transfer units:
ZT=HOy*NOy; etc.
•The height of the tower, and hence the total
volume of packing, depends on the magnitude of
the desired concentration changes and on the rate
of mass transfer per unit of packed volume.
•Calculations of the tower height, therefore, rest
on material balances, enthalpy balances, and
estimates of driving force and mass-transfer
coefficients, and equilibrium relationship.

(3)Rate of absorption
•Volumetric mass transfer coefficients (Kya, etc.) are
used for most calculations, because it is more difficult
to determine the coefficients per unit area and because
the purpose of the design calculation is generally to
determine the total absorber volume.
•Kya=overall volumetric mass-transfer coefficient,
kmol/(m3·h·unit mole fraction).
•a=effective area of interface per unit packed volume,
m2/m3
17
•Simplicity Treatment
•The following treatment applies to lean gases低浓度气
体(up to 10% solute):
•(a) Correction factors修正因子 for one-way diffusion
are omitted for simplicity.
•(b) Changes in gas and liquid flow rates (V and L) are
neglected.
•(c) kxa, kya, Kya, Kxa can be considered as constants.
18
•In chapters 6,7, the rate of mass transfer:

•Let r =rate of absorption per unit volume,

(18.7)
r k x a( xi x)
(18.8)
r K y a( y y )
r K x a ( x x)
(18.9)
(18.10)
•It is hard to measure or to predict a, but in most cases
it is not necessary to know its actual value since design
calculations can be based on the volumetric
coefficients. α很难直接测定,一般不需要知道α具体值
20
•Determining the interface composition (yi, xi)
•(yi, xi) is also hard to measure, but it can be obtained
from the operating-line diagram using Eqs.(8.1-21)
and (8.1-22):
( y yi )
kxa
( x xi )
kya
(18.11)
•Thus a line drawn from the operating line with a
slope –kxa/kya will intersect the equilibrium line at (yi,
xi).

25
•Liquid film controlling means that any change in kxa
has a nearly proportional effect on both Kxa and Kya
and on the rate of absorption, whereas a change in kya
has little effect.
•Examples of Liquid film controls: Absorption of CO2,
H2,O2,Cl2 in water;
•When the solubility of the gas is very high, m is very
small and the gas-film resistance controls the rate of
absorption.
•Examples of gas-film controls: Absorption of HCl,
NH3 in water; NH3 in acid solution; SO2, H2S in basic
solvent.
26
•With gases of intermediate solubility both resistances
are important, but the term controlling resistance is
sometimes used for the larger resistance.
•The absorption of NH3 in water is often cited as an
example of gas-film control, since the gas film has
about 80 to 90 percent of the total resistance.
27
•(4)Calculation of tower height
•The following treatment applies to lean gases (up to
10% solute:
(a) Correction factors for one-way diffusion are
omitted for simplicity.
(b) Changes in gas and liquid flow rates (V and L) are
neglected.
(c) kxa, kya, Kya, Kxa can be considered as constants.

(6)Alternate forms of transfer coefficients
The gas-film coefficients reported in the literature are
often based on a partial –pressure driving force instead of
a mole-fraction differencedy
and are written as kga or Kga.
