Abstract: | Small-scale venturi scrubbers having geometries of typical large-scale units were constructed from glass and were operated in a laboratory system. Carrier gas streams consisting of air or nitrogen and up to 30% (by volume) CO2 were mixed with SO2 or H2S to give SO2 or H2S concentrations in the range of 1890-4400 ppm. These gas mixtures were then scrubbed in the Venturis using various injected liquids (plain water, NaOH solutions, NH4OH solutions, and NaOH/NaHCO3 solutions) at L/G ratios of 0.0004-0.0040 m3 liquid per standard (1 atm, 60°F)m3 of gas (3-30 gallons liquid per 1000 standard ft3 of gas). Absorption percentages for SO2 and H2S were determined as functions of the L/G ratio, initial liquid pH, and liquid composition. The effects of venturi throat length, gas velocity, and the presence of CO2 in the gas stream were also determined. |
