Chlorinated water for pulp bleaching is being prepared by absorbing chlorine gas into water within a packed tower operating at 293 K and 1:013 × 105 Pa pressure. At one point in the tower, the partial pressure of chlorine in the gas is 4:0 × 104 Pa and the concentration of chlorine in the aqueous stream is 1 kg/m3. Data on the solubility of chlorine in water at 293 K are given in Problem. If 75% of the resistance to mass transfer lies in the liquid phase, determine the interfacial concentrations.
Problem :-
Determine the value of Henry's law constant, in Pa/(kg/m3) of chlorine for the chlorine-water system. The following equilibrium data at 293 K were reported in the Chemical Engineering Handbook.
