A packed column, 50 cm in diameter will treat 100 m3/min of gas containing 20% ammonia (relative to solute—free gas). Operating pressure and temperature is 1.5 atm and 10°C, respectively. Pure water enters the top of the column. 90% recovery of NH3 is desired using No.1 plastic Intalox saddles. Determine the: a. Water rate in m3/min b. Height of Packing if KGa =80 kmols/hr—m3-atm
