 Question 5 Table 1: Equilibrium data
• The exit gas from an alcohol- fermenter consists of Y X
(mole CO2/mole air) (mole CO2/mole amine
an air-CO2 mixture containing 10 mol% CO2 is to be solution)
absorbed in triethanolamine solution, containing
0.003 0.01
0.03 mol of CO2 per mole of amine solution. The
0.008 0.02
column is operated isthermally at 25°C and table 1
0.015 0.03
shows the equibibrium data for the system.The
outlet gas contains 2.5 mol % of CO2 and the 0.023 0.04
absorption is carried out in a three theoretical plates. 0.032 0.05
0.043 0.06
• a) Determine the composition of the CO2 in the exit
0.055 0.07
liquid stream.
0.068 0.08
• b) If the flowrate of the inert trithanolamine set at 90 0.083 0.09
kmol/hr, what is the flowrate of inlet and outlet
0.099 0.1
gases?
0.12 0.11
-Plot eq.line
-Plot (x0, y1) and finding
operating line (trial and error)
-Draw the 3 trays
y1= 0,025 x0= 0,03 a) For CO2:
V1= ? L0= 90 kmol/hr x = 0,03
o

T=25ºC
3 trays Do trial and error for the operating line,
given YN+1= 0,1111
From graph, xN = 0,085
yN+1= 0,1
xN = ?
VN+1= ?
LN =?
b) Given the flowrate of the inert triethanolamine, L’ = 90 kmol/hr
