Application of Simplified Mathematical Model on Gas Scrubbing Process

Abstract:

This paper shows common research activities of the Chemical Engineering team from the Institute of Materials Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry in Brno, University of Technology, Czech Republic. The paper is focused on application of simplified mathematical model on the experimental data obtained through the carbon dioxide scrubbing in to the deionized water in the experimental gas scrubber. The MS Excel’s (2007) Solver was used for computing simplified mathematical model of gas absorption under unsteady state. The CO₂ used for the experiment was of the food quality. 24.675 liters of the deionized water was used as water quantity batch. Absorbed CO₂ was detected with the gas electrode.
