Lab 5 Experiment of AbsorptionI. Objectives1. Understand the configuration of an absorption column2. Determine the overall volumetric gas phase mass transfer coefficient , KY3. Understand the characteristics of single-film resistance.II. Principles In gas absorption process, a solute component is absorbed by contacting with a liquid phase, in which the component is soluble. In this experiment, water is used to remove ammonia from air. The absorption of NH3 in water is gas phase controlled. The gas phase coefficient approximately equals to the overall mass-transfer coefficient. Based on this, the overall volumetric mass-transfer coefficient can be evaluated. When the mole fraction of solute in liquid is less than 10%, the equilibrium correlation obeys Henrys law. The overall mass-transfer coefficient is (1.26)where, h = height of packed section, m KY= overall volumetric gas phase mass transfer coefficient , kmol/m3hY = mole ratio of solute to solvent in gas phase; Y1, inlet value; and Y2, outlet valueYm = logarithm average driving force for gas phaseIII. Apparatus(1). Ammonia absorption apparatus and the processFigure 1.7 presents a diagram of the gas absorption unit to be employed in this experiment. This unit consists of 3 rotameters, 4 manometers, 2 thermometers, 2 buffer tanks, an effluent gas analyzer and an absorption tower. An air-ammonia mixture is introduced to the bottom of the column and pure water is sprayed from the top of the column. The air flowing upward contacts with water stream flowing downwards, which absorbs ammonia.

Procedures (1). Ammonia absorptionThe columns must be wetted for at least 10 minutes in order to ensure complete wetting of the packing. The system must be allowed to operate for another 10 minutes to reach an equilibrium state. Record all temperatures, flow rates, difference pressures.1. The effluent gas analyzer consists of an absorption capsule and a wet-type gas flow meter. Wash the absorption capsule with distilled water, drop 1 ml diluted sulfuric acid of a certain concentration with a suction pipette, and add distilled water to the tick mark. Joint the absorption capsule into the effluent gas analyzing pipeline after adding 12 drops of methyl red indicator.2. Open the water valve. Set the water flow rate to a value about 50 L/h on the rotameter. 3. Turn on the Jaeger blower. Set the air flow rate to a value about 20 m3/h on the rotameter by regulating the by-pass valve.4. Switch on the ammonia system under the supervising of the instructor. First, loose the spring of the reduction valve. Second, open the cut-off value. Third, regulate the reduction valve to the lower pressure of 0.05 to 0.08 MPa. Fourth, open the ammonia valve and set the ammonia flow rate to a value about 1 m3/h.5. Allow the system operating for 10 minutes to reach a steady state.6. Record all temperatures, difference pressures and flow rates.7. Analyze the effluent concentration. First, record the initial value of the wet-type gas flow meter. Second, open the analyzing valve. Third, record the end value when reaching the end point.8. Change either the gas flow rate or the liquid flow rate, and repeat the test.9. Close the ammonia, air and water systems in order.(2). Acetone absorption1. Add acetone to the bubbler, and water is added to the elevated tank. The height of the container is controlled to about two-thirds by observing the glass tube level the gauge.2. Check valves in front of the rotameters, and ensure they are in normal state; open the drain valve on the top of the packed tower, and close the pressure valuator 2. 3. Adjust the water flow to the predetermined value, and make the packed tower fully wetted. At the same time, open the water preheater, and adjust voltage to control the water temperature t1. Regulate the liquid level of the liquid seal to a stable value. 4. Switch on the air compressor according to the correct procedures, then control the pressure valuator and maintain 120 kPa; open the valve before the air rotameters, adjusting the flow to the predetermined value. Air is introduced into the acetone bubbler to obtain a mixed raw material via the vaporization of acetone, and the mixed gas is leaded in the absorption tower from its bottom. The gas flowing upward contacts with water stream flowing downwards, which absorbs acetone. Finally, the lean gas is discharged from the top of the tower export.5. Allow the system operating for 10 minutes to reach a steady state, then record all temperatures, difference pressures and flow rates. The acetone concentration is analyzed by a gas chromatographic analysis (note that the exit gas is sampled at first, then the imported gas; the same sample is collected and analyzed for at least 3 times).6. Maintain the water spray amount and change the air flow (the gas mixture concentration is still around 5%) to determine KYon the basisn of the same procedures; or keep the air flow unchanged and change the water spray amount to determine KY. 7. Close the acetone, air and water systems in order after the experiment is over.V.
