If G = insoluble gas in gas stream and L = non-volatile solvent in liquid stream, then the slope of the operating line for the absorber is___________________?

Correct answer: A. L/G

  • A. L/G
  • B. G/L
  • C. Always < 1
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an absorber with insoluble gas and non-volatile solvent, the operating-line slope on a solute-free basis is L/G. Here L and G are the molar flow rates of the liquid solvent and insoluble gas, respectively.
