The quench tower uses a packed tower; what is the purpose of having a section of packing at the bottom (200 mm high) submerged in acidic water? The packing used is ceramic Raschig rings.

Why is there packing at the bottom of the quench tower? Do you mean a packed tower?
The filler is immersed in acidic water! Is the tower flooded?
It should be used for defoaming, to prevent too much gas from entering the quench water, and it also serves a filtering function
The tower wasn’t flooded; it was operating normally. Both the local and remote level gauge openings include this section of packing
This will impact the tray and damage the packing
I don’t think it’s very meaningful; there might also be related patent technologies. I need you to explain this process – it could turn out to be a good idea
Agree with opinion 4#: it serves both to prevent vortices and for filtration.
The poster is referring to the quench tower in the sulfur recovery process; this packing is installed at the liquid level at the bottom of the quench tower, and its main purpose is to eliminate the foam that forms inside the tower, which is a consequence of the tendency of quench water to produce foam.
