EFFICIENCY OF RECIRCULATION IN MASS-TRANSFER PROCESSES
V. V. Zakharenko and E. O. Amadi UDC 66.015.23 The efficiency of recirculation in mass-transfer processes has been analyzed using the apparatus of transmitting capacities. It is shown that at fixed transmitting capacities of the stages recirculation can only degrade the process. However, in a packed absorber recirculation can turn out to be advantageous, since it increases the active mass-transfer surface. Regions where the use of recirculation can be appropriate have been identified. JEPTER7492020006 JEPTER749206
