When the gas to be dissolved in liquid is a/an ___________________ then normally co-current adsorber are used?
Correct answer: B. Pure gas
- A. Mixture of two gases
- B. Pure gas
- C. Ideal gas
- D. Sparingly soluble gas
Explanation
Co-current absorption is commonly used when the gas is essentially pure, because the entering streams then provide a large concentration driving force for dissolution. A gas mixture is more commonly handled in counter-current equipment.
