Question

Ninety five percent of the acetone vapor in an 85vol% air stream is to be absorbed by using counter current contact with pure water in a valve-tray column. The column will operate essentially at 20oc and 101 kpa pressure .Calculate(a) minimum l/v , the ratio of moles of water per mole of air.(b)the concentration of the exit acetone in exit water if the l/v is 1.25 times minimum l/v and number of trays.
