4 Packed tower columns /5 Structured packings or a random packed material can be used. Typical size of filling material mm. Mostly applied for absorption / desorption or distillation, with low pressure drop as an advantage. Compared to tray columns, more liquid with respect to gas flow. Typically countercurrent operation (gas upwards, liquid flows downwards). Also co-current application as a gas-liquid reactor, and socalled trickle-beds where the packing acts as catalyst. The use of packed tower columns is prefered over tray columns if 1) small units are needed (H < 10 m, D < 1 m); 2) corrosive fluids must be handled (using a ceramic or plastic packing); 3) pressure drop must be low; or 4) foaming can be a problem Operation is limitated by flooding, where the amount of gas flow prevents downflow of liquid. Typical operation at ~ 70% of flooding limit. Important factors are liquid and gas flow per unit cross-section, and liquid viscosity. 7 Example: Raschig ring packing For Raschig rings with a 1 (inch) diameter and height, calculate the contact surface a, m 2, per unit column volume, m 3. Assume a cubic packing (see Figure). (1 = 2.54 cm) Picture: WK92 Answer: The surface of inside + outside of the cylinders equals 2 π d l m 2 ; in a cubic packing one cylinder occupies a volume equal to d² l m³. Thus, a = 2 π d l / (d² l ) = 2 π / d with d = m gives a ~ 250 m 2 /m 3 with respect to column volume. The packing occupies fraction (1-ε) of the column volume (with voidage ε), thus the contact surface with respect to packing volume equals a p = a (1-ε). For Raschig rings: length l d 8

5 Column packing characteristics NOTE: instead of a p /ε 3 = a (1-ε)/ε 3 nowadays PACKIN FACTOR F p is used F p = a p / ε 3 unit. m -1 enerally, the column diameter to packing size ratio D/d should be > 30 for Raschig rings, > 15 for ceramic saddles, and > 10 for plastic rings or saddles.

F μ Y ρ ρ ρ X g ρ ρ ρ Error: unit: 1/m (1/ft) Coulson & Richardson vol. 2 (1983) 11/56 Packed columns: wetting rate There is a minimum liquid rate for effective use of the packing surface area. A wetting rate can be defined as Volumetric liquid rate per unit cross - sectional area of the column Packing surface area per unit volume of the column 3 2 ( m / s) / A column ( m ) u ( m / s) 2 ( m W a p ( m / m ) ap ( m / m ) / s) Recommended minimum liquid wetting rates are W = m 2 /s for mm rings and grids with less than 50 mm spacings, and W = m 2 /s for larger packings. 12/56

7 Packed tower columns /6 In a packed column no discrete, identifiable stages are seen Similar to a plate column the goal is, however, not that equilbrium is reached at each stage More importantly, mass transfer is accomplished that brings the phases closer to equilibrium Pictures: BS60 K71 13/ Mass balance, Mass transfer 14/56

12 5.3 Transfer units: HTU, NTU (Height of a transfer unit, Number of transfer units) Method 1, based on mass transfer resistances Transfer units HTU, NTU /1 contact surface a m 2 /m 3 dz Φ Φ cross-section area A m 2 Absorption of a component from a gas into a liquid (or similarly, for desorption / stripping from a liquid to a gas) Mass balance for transfer in a column height section with volume A dz, with concentrations c =c (z) and c =c (z), volume streams Φ, Φ c dc koy a (c ) A dz m with distribution constant m, c / m = c *at equilbrium, and mass transfer surface a m 2 /m 3 apparatus, and total height k oy (m/s) (or k o ) is the overall mass transfer coefficient for the gas phase side A similar mass balance can be set up for the liquid phase, using k ox (or k o ) 24

In a column section with volume HTU o A (m 3 ), the mass transfer capacity k oy a A HTU o (m 3 /s) is equal to Φ (m 3 /s), i,e. HTU o is the height of a section for which k oy a A HTU o = Φ NTU equals the ratio between horizontal mass transfer and vertical transport by convection note: 1) HTU o = HTU o (z), if k oy varies with position; 2) axial dispersion is neglected contact surface a m 2 /m 3 dz Φ Φ cross-section area A m 2 z 26/56

Similarly, = HTU o NTU o = HTU o NTU o, but HTU o HTU o lm z 27/56 Transfer units HTU, NTU /5 y A y AE Illustration for procedure of determining NTU o by integrating the reciprocal of the driving force curve. Here: NTU o = 6.2. y AE = equilibrium value for y A Source: King 1971, /56

15 Transfer units HTU, NTU /6 Alternatively, HTU o can be calculated from the individual values for the gas phase HTU and for liquid phase HTU. Combining these gives HTU o or HTU o, using the equilibrium data (K or m). (m) u (m/s) u (m/s) Φ The mass transfer capacity for the (m 3 /s) cross gas phase equals k a A (m 3 /s), sectional with gas-side mass transfer area A (m 2 ) coefficient k (m/s). Φ (m 3 /s) packing with contact surface a (m 2 /m 3 ) The ratio Φ / (k a A) = u / (k a) is the height of a transfer unit HTU, (or H ) for the gas phase. Similarly, the dimensionless ratio Φ /(k a A) = u /(k a) is the height of a transfer unit HTU (or H ) for the liquid phase. 29 Transfer units HTU, NTU /7 Combining the gas-side and liquid-side HTUs: HTU o 1 a A k o 1 a A k a A k m k a A k a A m k 1 HTU HTU S a A k m with separation factor S. Similary, for the overall liquidphase: u Φ HTU note : o HTU HTU HTU o o HTU S S (m) (m/s) (m 3 /s) cross sectional area A (m 2 ) u Φ (m/s) (m 3 /s) packing with contact surface a (m 2 /m 3 ) 30/56

16 Transfer units HTU, NTU /8 For the NTUs, for gas-side and liquid-side: as film : NTU iquid film : NTU Usually the mass transfer is mainly limited by the gas-side transfer, k o is more constant than k o more convenient to use NTU o and HTU o than NTU o and HTU o Column height = HTU o NTU o = HTU o NTU o dy y y dx x x i i as overall : NTU o iquid overall : NTU (m) u u (m/s) Φ Φ (m 3 /s) o dy y y * dx x * x (m/s) (m 3 /s) cross sectional area A (m 2 ) packing with contact surface a (m 2 /m 3 ) 31 Transfer units HTU, NTU /9 With straight operation lines and equibrium lines and liquid and gas molar streams V and ~ constant: y = x (/V) + y out -x in (/V) for an absorber y = x (/V) + y in -x out (/V) for a stripper y = K x for the equilibrium For an absorber, this gives the following for NTU (Colburn, 1939): NTU o yin yout dy y y * S 1 yin K x ln S yout K x S 1 in yin yout in (1 1 S KV ) y y K x for an absorber, with S A S For a stripper (with S = KV/) a similar expression can be derived for NTU o or stick to NTU o... dy out KV in x = (y-y out ) V/ - x in y* = K x KV 32/56

17 Example HTU, NTU Air containing 1.6 %-vol SO 2 is scrubbed with clean water in an absorber, which is a packed bed column with cross-sectional area A = 1.5 m 2 and packing height = 3.5 m. Incoming gas and liquid flow rates are = 62 mol/s and V = 2200 mol/s. For a concentration of 0.4 mol-% in the outgoing air and K = y/x = 40: calculate NTU o, HTU o and k oy a (as mol/m 3 s) for the SO 2. Answer: Separation factor S = A = /KV = 0.89; with y in = 0.016, y out = 0.004, and x in = 0 Colburn s expression (see previous slide) gives NTU o = 3.75 = NTU o HTU o = 3.5 m HTU o = 0.93 m k oy a A HTU o = Φ, with unit for k oy (m/s), V = Φ (p/rt) k oy a A HTU o = V, with unit for k oy (m/s) (mol/m 3 ) k oy a = 44 mol/m 3.s 33/56 Transfer units HTU, NTU /10 Alternatively (notation Öhman 1996, ) using molar fractions y and x, describing equilibrium with y = β x notation for molar streams ṅ (mol/s), contact surface a (m 2 /m 3 ) transport coefficients k x and k y for each phase (mol/m 3 m/s) column height and cross sectional area A tv notation H = HTU ; H = HTU ; = H o N o = H o N o ṅ = ṅ (y 0 -y 1 ) = K y a A tv (y-y*) lm = [ṅ /(K y a A tv )] [(y 0 -y 1 )/(y-y*) lm ] H A H H tv n k y n n n H n and a H x H y y A0 A A0 y* x A y A1 tv A n k A1 lm x * A x A lm x a = H o N o. But note: using logarithmic mean concentrations so that N = Δy/Δy lm and N = Δx/Δx lm requires that the equilibrium line and operating lines are straight! 34/56

18 5.4 Theoretical stages ( plates ): HETP Method 2, based on equilibrium stages Height equivalent to a theoretical plate, HETP Important for mass transfer equipment is the Height Equivalent to a Theoretical Plate (or equilibrium stage), HETP. This is the height needed for equilibrium for outgoing flows. For liquid 1 and gas 2 this implies c 1 (x) = m c 2 (x + HETP) HETP and HTU are related via HETP HTU o xhetp x dc2 c1 c m 2 lns...

20 Definitions revisited... HTU: height of mass transfer apparatus over which a concentration is reduced by a factor 1/e, for c 1 >> m c 2 or for c 1 << m c 2 (i.e. small thermodynamic limitation in other phase) (= also height needed to reach equilibrium between opposite streams at equilibrium if separation factor S =1) NTU: how many HTUs in apparatus height, is equal to residence time / time needed for transfer HETP: height in transfer apparatus between opposite streams at equilibrium Column height = HTU NTU; or = HETP N theoretical stages from counting stages in x,y diagram, or Kremser equation. 39/56 Example: exam question 341 (7+3 p.)

Partialtrycket p* för SO 3 i jämvikt med koncentrerad H 2 SO 4 är p* 0 bar. Massöverföringskoefficienten för gassidan är k = 0.02 m/s medan massöverförings-resistansen för vätskesidan kan försummas.

Also here, a load diagram can be used. Raschig rings Packing factor Pictures: WK92 ceramic metal load diagram for a packed column for Raschig rings 46/56

24 Dimensioning packed columns /5 The load diagram follows from a pressure drop analysis: Assume the packing to be a set of vertical plates at a distance d, on which the liquid flows down as a layer with thickness δ (m), and velocity υ (m/s) υ is related to the superficial (= with respect to empty column) liquid velocity v (m/s) as v = 2 υ δ/d. iquid volume fraction λ = 2 δ/d (m 3 /m 3 ). The gas moves upwards with superficial velocity v (m/s). Picture: WK92 47/56 Dimensioning packed columns /6 Forces as a result of flow in a packed column (per m 2 surface): 1.

Turbulent shear gas/liquid: f 3 = c 2 ρ (υ +v ) 2 c 2 ρ v 2 With total force = 0 for stationary flow this gives: c 1 ρ (½ v d/δ)² - ρ δ g + c 2 ρ v 2 = 0 with λ = 2 δ/d c 3 (v 2 /(g.d)) ⅓ gives final result c 1 ρ v ² - c 4 ρ d g + c 2 ρ v 2 = 0 (packing factor F p is included in c 4!)

27 5.6 Concentrated solutions, Distillation Concentrated solutions; Distillation When concentrations are high and significant amounts of mass is transferred, the operation line and/or the equilibrium line will be curved. Taking the inert parts of the gas and liquid streams = (1-x) and V = V (1-y) and use these in equations for HTU and NTU etc. In distillation applications, the equilibrium constant K changes strongly from place to place HTU and HETP etc. depend on position and change dramatically at the feed point. In calculations, instead of K use the local slope ς = dy/dx of the equilbrium curve 1/NTU o = 1/NTU + ς/ntu etc. More detail: see SH & /56
