Processes
Absorption
Absorption is used to separate gas
mixtures;
remove
impurities,
contaminants, pollutants and recover
valuable chemicals.
The species transferred to the liquid
absorbent are called solutes or
absorbate
Stripping
In stripping (desorption), a liquid
mixture is contacted with a gas to
selectively remove components by
mass transfer from the liquid to the
gas phase.
Types of Absorption
1. Physical absorption :
When water and hydrocarbon oils are used as
absorbents, no significant chemical reactions occur
between the absorbent and the solute, and the
process is commonly referred to as physical
absorption.
2. Chemical
absorption
