Absorption multicomponent, nonisothermal systems

Discussion of the concepts and procedures involved in designing packed gas absorption systems shall first be confined to simple gas absorption processes without complications isothermal absorption of a solute from a mixture containing an inert gas into a nonvolatile solvent without chemical reaction. Gas and liquid are assumed to move through the packing in a plug-flow fashion. Deviations such as nonisothermal operation, multicomponent mass transfer effects, and departure from plug flow are treated in later sections.
