To increase the absorption factor, (where, G = gas flow rate, S = solvent flow rate) ____________________?
Correct answer: C. Increase 'S' and decrease 'G'
- A. Increase both 'G' and 'S'
- B. Decrease both 'G' and 'S'
- C. Increase 'S' and decrease 'G'
- D. Increase 'G' and decrease 'S'
Explanation
The absorption factor is proportional to solvent flow and inversely proportional to gas flow, A = S/(mG). It therefore increases by increasing S and decreasing G.
