Absorption In Sieve Plate Column Apparatus

Technical Description: Our offered this product is the set up consists of a column fitted with perforated plates. Liquid is fed at the top of the column through distributor. The solute gas and air are measured separately, mixed in a mixing chamber and then passed through the perforated plates vertically upward and absorbed in liquid. All the flow rates can be independently varied to simulate different conditions. Liquid Sample can be taken out from the bottom of the column for analysis.

Learning Objectives/Experiments:
To study absorption of CO2 in aqueous NaOH solution in a sieve plate column.
To determine the gas phase mass transfer co-efficient, KG.
Required for Operation:
Compressed Air Supply at 2 Bar, 4 CFM.
Water Supply
Floor Drain.
CO2 cylinder with control valve, pressure regulator and Pressure gauges
Required Chemicals & Laboratory Glassware.
