Question

Tetrachloromethane at a concentration of 15 mg/L (C°)is to be reduced to 15 µg/L (C) by an air stripping tower. What is the required height (L) and the concentration of tetrachloromethane at the exit air (Ca) for the following conditions: (25p)
Air to water flow ratio (Q/Q) = 40:1
Q = 25 m³/h Cylindrical tower diameter (d) = 1 m
Henry's constant (H) for tetrachloromethane = 0.98 Lw/L
Water diffusion coefficient for chloroform (D) = 3x10 m²/s
Water kinematic viscosity (vw) = 8.9x107 m²/s
