Prediction of the liquid side mass transfer coefficient k1 at vertical liquid flow on the expanded metal packing is based on the penetration model according to Higbie. The experimental value of mass transfer coefficient k1 at absorption of sparingly soluble gases with differing diffusivities in water (propane, carbon dioxide and helium) are in a good agreement with the predicted values in a wide range of linear wetting densities. Interfacial area is determined by the chemical method and is correlated by an empirical relation.

AbstractA general review on correlations to evaluate mass transfer coefficients in liquid-liquid was conducted in this work. The mass transfer models can be classified into continuous and dispersed phase coefficients. The effects of drop size and interfacial area on mass transfer coefficient were investigated briefly. Published experimental results for both continuous and dispersed phase mass transfer coefficients through different hydrodynamic conditions were considered and the results were compared. The suitability and drawbacks of these correlations depend on the operating conditions and hydrodynamics. Although the results of these models are reasonably acceptable, they could not properly predict the experimental results over a wide range of designs and operating conditions. Therefore, proper understanding of various factors affecting mass transfer coefficient needs to be further extended.

A theoretically derived relationship has been applied for the gas-side mass transfer coefficient to experimental values of kG. The experimental data have been obtained under the two-phase flow of gas and liquid in a plane vertical packing manufactured of the expanded metal sheet. This packing exhibits a significant dependence of the extent of interfacial area, and hence the geometry of the channel available for gas flow, on the density of irrigation.

Experimental results are presented on the effect of liquid viscosity on absorption rate of carbon dioxide into a liquid film flowing downward the vertical surface of expanded metal sheets. On basis of these results the conclusion has been reached that the Highbie model does not enable to predict the effect of kinematic viscosity on liquid side mass transfer coefficient k1. The film-penetration model has been proposed where the existence of non-mixed region is assumed at the interface with the thickness ϑ and to it periodically incoming disturbances with the length scale of disturbance λ and characteristic Reynolds number of disturbance equal to one. On basis of experimental data were evaluated the dimensionless thicknesses of the film and penetration regions ϑ+ = 0.04 and λ+ = 10.6. A good agreement of the measured and calculated values of the mass transfer coefficient k1 were obtained for three types of expanded metal sheets of vertical pitch diagonal 10, 16 and 28 mm and nine liquids with kinematic viscosities within the range from 0.6 to 15.1 μm2s-1.

The absorption of carbon dioxide in aqueous diethanolamine solutions was carried out in a three-phase fluidized bed with inert spherical packing. The rate of absorption was calculated on the basis of measuring the concentration change in the liquid phase on-line by a conductivity probe. It was shown that the Danckwerts plot method might be successfully used to simultaneously determine the effective interfacial area and both the gas and liquid-side mass transfer coefficients. While the gas-side mass transfer coefficient is independent of the liquid flow rate, the effective interfacial area and liquid-side mass transfer coefficient increase with increasing liquid flow rate.

Specific interfacial area has been computed from experimental values of the gas-side volume mass transfer coefficient, kga, and the theoretically derived expressions for gas-side mas transfer coefficient per unit area of interfacial surface, kg. The results have been compared with the specific interfacial area determined experimentally using the chemical method.

Absorption of oxygen into water and aqueous solutions of poly(acrylamides) was studied in an absorber with a wetted sphere. The effects of changes in the liquid flow rate and the polymer concentration on the liquid side mass transfer coefficient were examined. The results are expressed by correlations between dimensionless criteria modified for non-Newtonian liquids whose flow curve can be described by the Ostwald-de Waele model.

Abstract- One of the most widely used processes for CO2 gas removal is Absorption. Carbon dioxide is the result of the fuel combustion process which of the hazardous gases. The aim of this research is to determine the total mass transfer coefficient and analyze the effect of the absorbent flow rate of the absorbent solution with the promoter and the gas flow rate to the total mass transfer coefficient value. The variables consisted of liquid flow rate: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 liter/min, gas flow rate: 15, 25, 30, 40, 50 liter/min and MSG concentration: 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% by weight. The solution of Pottasium Carbonate as absorbent with MSG promoter is flowed through top column and CO2 gas flowed from bottom packed column. Liquids were analyzed by titration and the gas output was analyzed by GC. From this research, it is found that the flow rate of gas and the liquid flow rate is directly proportional to the value of KGa. The liquid flow rate variable 5 liters / minute, gas flow rate 15 l / min obtained value of KGa 11,1102 at concentration of MSG 5%. Keywords:  Absorption, CO2,  K2CO3, MSG.
