Description
This Gas Absorption-Desorption Unit is
designed to provide students with a hands-on
experience on gas absorption and desorption.
This unit consists of:
• Absorption and desorption columns
• Sump tanks
• Circulation pumps
• Condenser
• Heat exchanger
Experimental capabilities:
• Absorption of CO2 from air-CO2 gas mixture using
water
• Desorption of CO2 from the solution into air
• Determination of CO2 saturation point in water and
time to reach saturation
• Effect of CO2 compositions, air and water flow rate
on efficiency
• Effect of liquid temperature and air flow rate on
desorption efficiency
• Hydrodynamics study of a packed column
• Determination of loading and flooding points of the
column
