Question

In Absorption, the column below the feed plate is known as: a. Reflux b. Boilup c. Rectification d. Stripping e. None of the above. Vaporizing a definite fraction of the liquid in a single stage in such a way that the evolved vapor is in equilibrium with the residual liquid, and the vapor and liquid phase are then separated is called: a. Fractional Distillation b. Rectification c. Flash Distillation d. Differential Distillation e. None of the above In absorption at low liquid rates much of the packing surfaces may be dry or at best is covered by stagnant film of liquid, this effect it known as: a. Flooding b. Channeling c. Loading d. None of the above Show for the following equimolar counter diffusion diagram for a binary gas mixture of A and B, the diffusivity coefficient D_AB for A diffusing into B is the same as D_BA diffusing into A

Explanation / Answer

1. In Adsorption the column below the feed plate is known as:

a) and b) are terms used to describe the liquids and vapours, they are not column names.

The correct answer is: d) stripping column. This one is used for desorption (which is still an adsorption process).
