Gas Absorber Column Mass Transfer

Gas absorbers remove contaminants from gas streams, and this page focuses on how a packed counter-flow column works. In this setup, the gas and liquid move in opposite directions. The column is filled with random packing that helps the two phases make efficient contact.

Gas absorbers are used to remove contaminants from gas streams, such as floo gas from an exhaust. A gas absorber uses a column often containing random or structured packing material. Packed bed absorbers utilize gas and liquid streams which flow counter current to each other. The contaminant gas is absorbed into the liquid stream, resulting in r...
