The document discusses calculating the theoretical number of trays needed in a tray tower to remove 99% of ammonia from an air stream containing 6% ammonia. The key steps are: 1) Calculating molar flows and mole fractions of ammonia in and out 2) Using mass balance equations around each tray to calculate mole fractions along the tower 3) Plotting an equilibrium curve and operating line to determine the theoretical number of trays The calculations determine the theoretical number of trays is approximately 4 trays.

10.6-3 Absorption of Ammonia in a tray tower.

A tray tower is to be used to remove


99% of the ammonia from an entering air stream containing 6 mol % ammonia
at 293 K and 1.013 x 105 Pa. The entering pure water flow rate is 188 kg
H2O/h.m2 and the inert air flow is 128 kg air/h.m2. Calculate the number of
theoritical trays needed. Use equilibrium data from Appendix A.3. For the dilute
end of the tower, plot an expanded diagram to step off the number of trays more
accurately.

Diketahui :
1. Sistem amonia-udara – air
2. T = 293 K
3. P = 1.013 x 105 Pa
4. V= 128 kg/h.m2 (udara)
5. L = 188 kg/h.m2 (air)
6. YN+1 = 6% = 0,06
7. ingin menghilangkan 99% amonia
Ditanya :
Tray teoritis?
Jawaban :

1. Dihitung aliran dalam molar


Dari literatur diperoleh Mr udara sebesar: 28,97 = 29

Dari persamaan di atas, dapat digambar garis operasi, yaitu dengan cara
memilih minimal 3 harga yn+1 sembarang yang terletak di antara 0,000635 dan
0,06, misalkan:

 Misalkan diambil yn+1 = 0,001 lalu harga ini disubstitusi ke persamaan


neraca disekitar kotak garis putus-putus didapat xn = 0,00015
 yn+1 = 0,01 → xn = 0,00398
 yn+1 = 0,06 → xn = 0,026
