Abstract
This chapter covers all important aspects of absorption and desorption columns. Based on the equilibrium between gas and liquid, the required stages for a gas washer or a stripper are determined graphically or by calculation as a function of the washing medium or the strip gas rate. The specific features of air, vapour, ammonia and sour gas strippers are also covered.
