SECTION - A

1. Explain the mechanism of absorption based on two film theory of mass transfer.
2. Gas from a petroleum distillation, has its concentration of H₂S reduced from 0.03 Kmol H₂S per Kmol of inert hydrocarbon gas to 0.1%. of this value by scrubbing with triethanolamine water in a counter current tower operating at 300K and at atmospheric pressure. The equilibrium relation for the solution may be taken as Y =2X. The solvent enters the tower free of H₂S and leaves containing 0.013 Kmol of H₂S per Kmol of solvent. If the flow of inert gas is 0.015 kmol/ m² -sec of tower cross section, estimate height of absorber and the number of transfer units (N_OG). The overall coefficient for absorption K_Ga may be taken as 0.04 Kmol/ m² -sec- Unit driving force.

6. Explain the types of ternary liquid-liquid extraction.
7. Explain the different types of membranes and the application of membrane separation in paper industries.
   OR
   Acetaldehyde (5%) is in solution in toluene and is to be extracted with water in a five stage co-current unit. If 25kg of water is used per 100kg feed, determine the amount of acetaldehyde extracted and the final concentration. The equilibrium relation for the system is given as: Y = 2.22X Where Y- Kg of acetaldehyde/kg of water. X - kg of acetaldehyde/kg of toluene.

10. A plant produces 100kg/sec of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment which must be 99.9% pure when dried. The pigment is produced by precipitation and the material as prepared is contaminated with Tkg of salt solution containing 0.55kg of salt per kg of pigment. The material is washed counter currently with water in a number of thickeners arranged in series. How many thickness will be required if water is added at a rate of 200 kg/sec and the solid discharged from each thickener removes 0.5kg of solvent per kg of pigment.
11. Explain Mier’s supersaturation criteria and nucleation in crystallization process. What will be the yield of Na₂S₂O₃ · 5H₂O if 100kg of 48% solution of Na₂S₂O₃ are cooled to 20°C. The solubility of Na₂S₂O₃ at 20°C is 70 parts per 100 parts of water. Molecular weight of Na₂S₂O₃ =158.
