Question 43 - In a non-dilute absorber, the inlet gas stream consists of 8 mol % carbon dioxide in nitrogen. By contact with room temperature water at atmospheric pressure, 65 % of the carbon dioxide from a gas stream has been removed. (a) Find the mole ratio of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases at inlet and outlet gas streams. (b) The Henry’s Law provides y = 1640 x for carbon dioxide in water. Find the mole ratio when x = 0.0000427. Mole ratio is y / (1 - y) for y.

Answer 43 - Basis = 100 mol / h. For inlet, mole % of carbon dioxide = 8 % and mole % of nitrogen = 100 - 8 = 92 % then mole ratio = 8 / 92 = 0.086957. For outlet, mole % of nitrogen = 92 %, mole % of carbon dioxide = 8 % (1 - 0.65) = 2.8 %, then mole ratio = 2.8 / 92 = 0.030435. (b) When x = 0.0000427, y = 1640 x = 1640 (0.0000427) = 0.070028, then mole ratio = y / (1 - y) = 0.0753.
