Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in petroleum refinery is to be removed from a 1387kg/h gas mixture consist of 16 % w.w H2S into air, using counter current absorption column.

Water is used as solvent in the absorption column. The water flow rate is 3 times the gas mixture flow rate.

The air mole percent at the top of the column is 97.5%.

 

The air consists of 21.9% oxygen and 78.1% nitrogen.

 

Calculate;

 

4. The mole fraction of H2S in the liquid stream leaving the bottom of the tower?

 

 

Note; Don’t round numbers; Minimum 4 decimals (0.0000)
