The flue gas from the thermal power plant contains 10% carbon dioxide. A packed absorption tower is to be designed, using 48% potassium hydroxide to absorb this carbon dioxide and produce potassium carbonate. The flow rate of the flue gas is 12,000 m³/h, and the absorption efficiency is 90%. What is the appropriate gas-liquid ratio for this tower?

The flue gas from the thermal power plant contains 10% carbon dioxide. A packed absorption tower is to be designed, using 48% potassium hydroxide to absorb this carbon dioxide and produce potassium carbonate. The flow rate of the flue gas is 12,000 m³/h, and the absorption efficiency is 90%. What is the appropriate gas-liquid ratio? How should the diameter and height of the tower be calculated?
The impurity components in the flue gas from power plants are complex; it is not recommended to use potassium carbonate directly
