Groundwater contaminated with 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) is to be air-stripped at 25°C and 1.1 bar pressure at a rate of 9000 kg/h. The feed water has 600 ppm of the VOC. A stripping column of suitable diameter with eight trays having 40% overall efficiency is available. The exit stripping air must not contain more than 2.5% TCA by volume. The equilibrium relation is y = 950 x. Calculate the percentage removal of TCA achievable in the column. Solve this problem using Kremser eqn
