    The document summarizes an experiment conducted to study gas absorption. The objectives were to study the effect of gas and liquid flow rates on pressure drop across an absorption column and to demonstrate CO2 absorption from air using NaOH. The equipment used included an absorption column with a diameter of 0.075 m and height of 1.4 m containing glass rasching rings. Results presented include plots of pressure drop versus gas flow rate and liquid flow rate to determine mass transfer coefficients, as well as CO2 absorption calculations. Appendices include raw data and sample calculations.

    Summary
    The first objective of this experiment is to study the column dynamics under
    different gas and liquid flow rates and their effect on the pressure drop across
    the column. The second objective is to demonstrate the absorption of CO2
    from air stream by a solution of NaOH and to calculate the overall mass
    transfer coefficient using gas analysis. The equipment which was used are:
    Absorption column having a diameter of 0.075 m and a height of 1.4 with 9
    mm glass rashing rings.
