What are the factors to be considered for Solvent Selection ?

The factors to be considered are: 1. The gas solubility should be high, thus increasing the rate of absorption and decreasing the quantity of solvent required. 2. The solvent should have a low vapour pressure to reduce loss of solvent in the gas leaving an absorption column. 3. The materials of construction required for the equipment should not be unusual or expensive. 4. The solvent should be inexpensive, so that losses are not costly, and should be readily available. 5. Low viscosity is preferred for reasons of rapid absorption rates, improved flooding characteristics in packed column, low pressure drops on pumping, and good heat transfer characteristics. 6. The solvent should be non-toxic, non-flammable and chemically stable.

What is Liquid Rate for Absorption Column ?

The liquid rate for absorption column is the amount of solvent (liquid) required to achieve a defined separation target. This liquid flow rate is based on solute free basis. The liquid rate can be minimized to the point where equilibrium curve touches the operating line, this is known as the minimum liquid rate. As the liquid flowrate decreases the operating cost (cost of solvent) decreases but the capital cost (cost of tower) increases as the number of stages required increases.
