Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in petroleum refinery is to be removed from a 1387kg/h gas mixture consist of 16 % w.w H2S into air, using counter current absorption column. Water is used as solvent in the absorption column. The water flow rate is 3 times the gas mixture flow rate. The air mole percent at the top of the column is 97.5%. The air consists of 21.9% oxygen and 78.1% nitrogen. Calculate; 1. To H2S molar flow rate and mole fraction entered into the bottom of the column? Note; Don’t round numbers; Minimum 4 decimals (0.0000) Given A) The air consists of 21.9% oxygen and 78.1% nitrogen. B) The atomic weight of; 1. The hydrogen atom is 1 2. The Oxygen atom is 16 3. The sulfur atom is 32 4. 1The nitrogen atom is 14
