Absorption

Absorption is a thermal separation operation in which a selective liquid (scrubbing liquid, absorbing agent) absorbs a component (absorbed substance) of a gas mixture. The objectives of absorption are :-

To separate gas mixture as required by the process.

To purify a component of a gas mixture.

To recover valuable components from waste gases.

To remove harmful gases from waste gases or synthesis gases as part of environmental protection.

In addition, however absorption also finds application in the extraction of a commercial product ( e.g. absorption of NH3 in water, production of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid etc). Depending on the nature of the absorption process, a distinction is made between scrubbing liquids which have a physical and chemical action.
