Ammonia is to be removed from a 7% w.w '(ammonia – air mixture), by absorption using water in a counter-current flow packed column. The gas flow rate is 150 kg/ s and the liquid flow rate is 1.5 the gas flow rate. Complete the material balance around the column if 96% of ammonia is it to be removed?
