Question

At what conditions will the solute is absorbed more per stage or packing segment?

(a) When L/G ratio is increased

(b) When L/G ratio is decreased

(c) When L/G ratio is negligible

(d) When L/G ratio is reduced to very low level

I had been asked this question during an interview.

My enquiry is from Absorption Equipments topic in division Absorption of Food Processing Unit Operations

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) When L/G ratio is increased

Explanation: As the L/G ratio is increased, the operating line moves away from the equilibrium line and more solute is absorbed per stage or packing segment.
