If sufficient demand

The intention is give an overview of basic models that describe how chemical reactions enhance the transfer of gaseous species from a gas bulk into a liquid.

Diffusion and solubility of gases in liquids, lab equipment for experimental studies, absorption models for different types of chemical reactions, characteristics of absorption equipment, example of absorption reactions, desorption of gases from liquids, hydrodynamics of packed towers such as flooding and wetting.

be able to theoretically describe parameters, which affect an absorption process with or without chemical reaction.
has to acquire knowledge to be able to evaluate and design an absorption process in which the components may react.

be able to set up a mathematical model for a given absorption problem and apply the model to a relevant absorption process.
orally and in writing be able to describe how different operating conditions affect an absorption process.

be able to execute an experimental plan for retrieving design data for an absorption problem.
