INTRODUCTION
The gaseous mixture is pumped into the tower at the bottom and flow
upward through the space in the packing. It flows counter currently to the
flow of the liquid. The arrangements of the packings provide a large surface
for contact between the liquid and the gas which help the contact between
the two phases. The solute in the gas mixture is absorbed by the two phases.
The solute in the gas mixture is absorbed by the fresh liquid flowing down
while the dilute gas or lean gas leaves at the top of the tower. The liquid is
enriched with the solute gas it flows down the tower and concentrated liquid
called strong liquid leaves at the bottom of the tower through the liquid exit.
The design parameters will be solved for by applying liquid and gas
condition along with the associated physical properties to estimate the
diameter of the tower and height of the packing required. The tower
mechanical design would be based on the diameter while the overall costing
will be the function of the overall height and material of the constructions of
the tower.
Gas absorption is applied for the separation and purification of dirty air.
Gas absorption is the removal of gases from the air by a liquid. The
undesirable gas dissolves in the scrubbing liquid while other gasses do not,
the pollutants gas can be scrubbed out. The most efficient gas scrubber is
the packed tower, which is also used for capturing particulates. The packings
material, supported by plates or screens, provides many channels for the air
and scrubbing liquid to come into close contact. The packing materials used
are ceramic or plastic pieces, wood slates, stones, marble ping pong ball.
Equilibrium data
LITERATURE
The flow of gas and liquid in the absorber may be counter current,
concurrent or cross-current. The most usefully installed designs are counter-
current, where the waste gas stream flow is at the bottom of absorber tower
and exit at the top. The solvent stream flows in, at the top and exit at the
bottom. Counter current design provide the highest theoretical removal
efficiency, due to the gas with the lowest pollutant concentration contact
liquid with the lowest pollutant concentration in the column. His increases
the average driving force for absorption through the column (Mc Innes et al
1990).
For cross current, the waste gas flows horizontally across the column
while the solvent flows vertically down the column. Cross current design
have lower pressure drop and required lower liquid to gas ratios than
concurrent and counter current design. They are mainly used when gases
are highly suitable, since they offer less contact time for absorption (Mc
Innes et al, 1990).
For concurrent tower, the waste gas and the solvent flow sin at the
bottom. Concurrent design have lower pressure drops, are not subject to
flooding limitation and more efficient for the (that is submicron) mist
removal. Concurrent designs are efficient where large absorption driven
forces are available. The removal efficiency reduces since the gas-liquid
system approaches equilibrium at the bottom of the column (Mc Innes et al,
1990).
The rate of mass transfer between two phases is largely based on the
surface are and period of contact. the factor guiding the absorption rate,
such as solubility of the gas in a particular solvent and the degree of the
chemical reaction are characteristics of the constituent involved and
relatively base don’t eh apparatus used.
Tray tower are vertical cylinder in which the liquid and gas are
contacted in stage wise fashion on tray (plate). Liquid enter at the top of the
column and flow through a down spout (down corner) to plate, below. Gs
moves upwards though openings in the plate, bubbles into the liquid, and
passes to the plate above. They are easier to clean and tend to handle
substantial temperature fluctuation properly than packed lower do. However,
at high gas flow rate plate tower exhibit larger pressure drops and have
larger liquid holdup. Plate tower are generally made of materials such as
stainless steel. This make sit to withstand the force of liquid on the plate and
facilitate corrosion protection. Packed tower are considered better when acid
and other design can be of fiberglass, polyvinylchloride, or other less cost
corrosive resistant materials. Packed tower are preferred to column smaller
than two feet in diameter and when pressure drop in important consideration
(Perry, 1984).
A thin film of liquid running down the inside of a vertical pipe, with gas
flowing either concurrently or counter currently, constitute a wetted wall
tower. A flow of liquids through soluble pipe, a volatile pure liquid is
permitted to flow down the inside surface of permitted to flow down the
inside surface of a circular pipe while a gas is blown upward or downward
through the central core. Industrially, they have been used as absorber for
hydrochloric acid, where absorption involves a large evolution of heat. The
wetted wall tower is surrounded by a rapidly flowing of cooling water. Gas
pressure drop is lower than any other gas liquid contacting design.
Fig. 2.9: A sketch of a wetted wall tower
At high gas velocities, the gas existing in the top of the column may
carry off droplets of liquid as a mist. To prevent this, eliminator in the form of
corrugated sheets or layer of mesh and be installed at the top of the column
to collect the liquid droplets which coalesce and fall back into the lower.
2.11 A LIQUID DISTRIBUTOR
INADEQUATE ADEQAUTE
DISTRIBUTOR DISTRIBUTOR
Packing materials provide a large wetted surface for the gas stream
maximizing the area available fro mass transfer operation. Packing materials
are available in variety of forms each having specific characteristics with
respect to surface area, pressure drop, weight, corrosion resistance, and
cost. Packing life varies, depending on the application. In ideal circumstance,
packing will last as long as the tower itself in adverse environments, parking
life may be as short as 1-5 years due to corrosion, fouling and brakeage (Roy
1992).
The packings are fluidized at high velocities son top of a bed. The
packings may be emitted to the distributor, become unevenly, or be damage
(Harrison and John, 1989). A parked restrainer may be installed at the
packing. To avoid the restrainer from being dislocated, it should be secured
at the wall and also not to “float”, unattached weight plate may be placed on
top of the packings so that it can settle with the bed. The later is often used
for fragile ceramic packings.
The tower shell may be metal, wood, chemical stone ware, acid, proof
brick, glass, plastic or glass linked metal or other material depending on the
corrosion condition. They are usually circular in cross section for ease of
construction and strength.
This is a packing dumped into the tower during the time of installation
and deposited at random. Sometimes ago materials as broken stone, gravel
or lumps of coke were used and are not expensive. They are not needed for
small surface and poor fluid flow. The random packing is produced and
effective. The common types are Rashing ring, which have the hollow
cylinders with diameter ranging from 6 – 100mm (1/4 to 4 inch0 or more. It
can be made of chemical stone ware or porcelain for contacting of most
liquid except alkaline and hydrofluoric acid, of carbon which is useful except
in strongly oxidizing atmosphere; of metals; or plastics. Plastics should be
chosen, since they may deteriorate rapidly with certain organic solvents. The
plastic offers the advantage of lightness in weight. The Lessing rings and
others with internal partition are frequently used. Berl and intalox saddles
and variant of them are available in size from 6-75mm (1/4 to 3 inch) made
of chemical stone were or plastic. Pall rings which are called “Flexi ring”,
cascade rings, hy-pack is available in metal and plastic. They offer large
specific surface (and large gas pressure drop) in the small size and cost less
per unit volume in larger sizes. To avid breakage during pouring, water is
first filled in the tower before releasing the packing.
(A) Rashing Ring (b) Lessing Ring
(e) Ceramics
The regular packing have the advantages of lower pressure drop for
gas and greater possible fluid flow rates, usually at the expense of more
costly installation than random packing. Stacked Rashing rings are
economically practical only in very large sizes. A lot of medication of the
expanded metal packings. Wood grids, or hurdles re inexpensive and
frequently adopted where large void volume are required as in thecae of far-
bearing gases from coke oven or liquid that carry solid particles.
GAS SOLUBILITY: The gas solubility should be high, thus increasing the rate
of absorption and decreasing the quantity of solvent required. Generally,
solvent of a chemical nature similar to that of the solute to be absorbed will
provide good solubility. Thus, hydrocarbon oils are used to remove benzene
from coke oven gas. For some cases, where the solution formed is ideal, the
solubility of the gas is the same in terms of model fraction for all solvent. A
chemical reaction of solvent with the solute will frequently result in very high
gas solubility but if the solvent is to be recovered for reuse, the reaction
must be reversible.
VOLATILITY: The solvent should have a low vapor pressure, since the gas
leaving an absorption operation is ordinarily saturated with the solvent and
much may be lost. If necessary, a second less volatile liquid can be use to
recover the evaporated portion of the first,
CORROSIVENESS: the solvent chosen must not corrode the absorption lower
or introduce any act of pollutant to the mixture to be separated.
COST: The solvent should be inexpensive, so that losses are not costly and
should be readily available.
The process is highly exothermic with a ΔH value of 92.2kgt per mol. The
solubility of ammonia at 200C and 1alm is given by Henry’s law. That is
P = HX
Ammonia is the most soluble gas. That is why it cannot be collected over
water. The solubility can be demonstrated with the fountain experiment.
Anhydrous ammonia gas is considerably lighter than air and will rise in dry
air.
Liquid and gas ammonia expand and contract with change sin pressure and
temperature
Ammonia is also used in the manufacture of nylon; the dying of cotton wool
and silk,
