Jh. Tang et al., Kinetic model for absorption of carbon dioxide into ammoniated aqueous solutions of sodium sulfate, IND ENG RES, 40(2), 2001, pp. 674-680
On the basis of film theory, a simplified absorption macro-model of the car
bonization process of ammoniated aqueous solutions of sodium sulfate has be
en developed. This model can be used in industrial designs and process simu
lations of the carbonizing tower of soda production using mirabilite (Na2SO
4 ore) as the feedstock. It can also be applied in the calculation of the m
ass transfer rates, enhancement factors, concentration profiles, and total
transfer coefficients. The calculated results are in good agreement with ex
perimental results.
