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.
