with pure water at the same temperature, using a packed tower that is 0.7m in diameter. The tower is
packed with 35mm plastic NORPAC rings. Equilibrium is described by Henry's Law, where the equilibrium
concentration of SO2 is y* = 8.4x*. If the liquid ow is adjusted so that the driving force (y-y*) is constant,
calculate the heigh of the paced section. Flue gases usually contain less than 1 mole% of SO2, an air
pollutant regulated by law. Assume that the properties of the liquid are similar to those of pure water and Continue to post

known as the "differential method." This method requires the examination of a small slice of the absorption
column, of height dz. This will lead to the formulas in the attached image. . Steps to solve using this
method are: 1. Mass Balance on the column to determine ow rates. 2. Plotting the equilibreum curve. 3.
Make a graph of x versus the integral shown in the image. 4. Evaluate the integral by determining the area
under the curve between x1 and x2. Snap a photo from your
