In a gas-liquid absorption column, for obtaining the maximum absorption efficiency____________________?

Correct answer: C. Both gas as well as liquid streams should be distributed uniformly

  • A. Liquid stream should be distributed uniformly
  • B. Gas stream should be distributed uniformly
  • C. Both gas as well as liquid streams should be distributed uniformly
  • D. By passing should be completely avoided
  • E. Answer: Option C

Explanation

Uniform distribution of both gas and liquid prevents dry zones, channeling, and bypassing, so the entire column cross-section contributes to absorption. Uniform distribution of only one phase is insufficient.
