Mass Transfer
An alkaline solution is used to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in a stream from 10% to 0.1% by absorption with irreversible chemical reaction. The overall number of transfer units based on gas phase is
Both the phases become identical at a particular common point on both the solubility curves called the plait point
As the acetone concentration increases, the solubility curves approach each other
The distribution curve which is a plot between x (acetone concentration in one phase) and y (acetone concentration in other phase) is analogous to x-y curve used in distillation and absorption termina
