You have a stream of air containing pollutant AA (MW = 40) at 7% by volume. The stream is flowing at 15,000 actual ft/min at 1 atm pressure and 90 °F. The regulations require 96% removal of pollutant AA, and you decide to try a water absorption column, using pure water as the absorbing liquid. The tower will be packed with 1.5-ineh polypropylene Pall rings. The equilibrium data (in x-y coordinates) for the AA-water system at 90 °F (the temperature at which the tower will operate) are given below: 0,014 0.028 0.057 0.010 0.020 0.040 0.060 0.085
