Importance: Gas absorption processes are widely used in the industry, mainly for environmental regulations of gaseous emissions. Chemical engineer, job duties: Design, simulate, develop & operate absorption unit, where mass transfer phenomena take place.

- 7. 7 UNITOPERATION:ABSORPTION DISTILLATION-ABSORPTION Chattopadhyay et al., 2007 DISTILLATION ABSORPTION Stripping vapor is generated by the partial evaporation of the liquid. The liquid is always well below its boiling point. Simultaneous molecular diffusion in both directions. Diffusion is chiefly unidirectional. The radio of the liq flowrate to the gas flowrate is minor. The radio of the liq flowrate to the gas flowrate is greater tan distillation. The primary objective is to involve separation of solutes from each other to any important extent. The primary objective is only solute recovery or solute removal. Table 1. Comparison between distillation and absorption process

Source: www. spanish.alibaba.com Absorption is the one of the most commonly used separation techniques for the gas cleaning purpose for removal of various gases like H2S, CO2, SO2 and ammonia. Design of the column involves estimation of diameter of the column and height of the packing required for specified separation. An optimum transfer of mass between the liquid and gaseous phase in contact guarantees a better performance of the absorption column
