    This document provides a mass transfer problem and solution involving the absorption of SO2 gas into a liquid solution. The problem involves calculating (a) the time required for the SO2 concentration in the liquid solution to reach 0.08 mmol/cm3, and (b) drawing the concentration profile of SO2 from the liquid to gas phase. The solution uses mass balance equations for the liquid and gas phases, assuming quasi-steady state in the gas phase, to derive an equation relating the change in liquid SO2 concentration to time. Integrating this equation gives the time required as 3.107 minutes.

    Mass Transfer Exercise

    Problem 4 and solution

    Air containing SO2 at partial pressure of 0.01 atm passes through a device filled with a liquid
    solution (50 cm3 in volume) that absorbs SO2, as shown below. The interface area is 10 cm2. The
    feed air flow rate is Q= 50 cm3/s. The device is operated at 1 atm and 25oC. Both air and liquid
    are well stirred. The mass transfer coefficients for the liquid and gas phase are respectively: k L =
    2.0x10-4 cm/s, kG = 4.0x10-3 mmol/cm2.s.atm. The Henry constant for SO2 in these two-phase
    system is H=0.1 atm.cm3/mmol. The gas constant R=82.06 cm3 atm/mol.K.

    Q=50 cm3/s. PSO2=0.01 atm PSO2=?

    Air containing SO2

    Liquid solution

    (a). If the initial SO2 concentration in the liquid solution is 0, calculate time required for the
    SO2 concentration in the solution to reach 0.08 mmol/cm3. You can assume a quasi-
    steady state in the gas phase, i.e., the term dCg/dt=0, where Cg is the SO2 concentration in
    the gas phase in the device.

    (b). Draw quantitatively the SO2 concentration profile from the liquid phase to the gas phase.
