(c) Sulphur dioxide is recovered from a smelter gas containing 3.5 per cent by volume
of SO2, by scrubbing it with water in a countercurrent absorption tower. The gas is
fed into the bottom of the tower, and in the exit gas from the top the SO 2 exerts a
partial pressure of 1.14 kN/m
2
. The water fed to the top of the tower is free from
SO2, and the exit liquor from the base contains 0.001145 kmol SO2/kmol water.
The process takes place at 293 K, at which the vapour pressure of water is 2.3
kN/m
2
. The water flow rate is 0.43 kmol/s.
If the area of the tower is 1.85 m
2
and the overall coefficient of absorption for these
conditions K?La is 0.19 kmol SO2/sm
3
(kmol of SO2/kmol H2O), what is the height
of the column required?
The equilibrium data for SO2 and water at 293 K are:
kmol SO2/1000 kmol H2O 0.056 0.14 0.28 0.42 0.56 0.84 1.405
