absorption column

It helps to think of the process as similar to a gas-liquid absorption column.

The dry natural gas leaves the top of the absorption column and is fed either to a pipeline system or to a gas plant.

Regenerated acid (typical strength: 18% wt/wt) is collected at absorption column bottom.

It has also been used for the same purpose in designing trayed fractionating columns, trayed absorption columns and other vapor-liquid-contacting columns.

In the absorption column (V) the hydrogen chloride compound of the saturated roast gas leaving the preconcentrator is adiabatically absorbed in water (which in many cases is acid rinse water from a carbon steel pickling line).

Despite the practical value of the two women's device, called an absorption column, probably the more important aspect of their work was that it is part of a widespread attempt to strengthen American engineering skills and effectiveness: taking it away from the purely theoretical and moving it toward more hands-on experience on the factory floor.
