PiAbsorb is an advanced, interactive chemical engineering application designed to model and analyze the gas absorption process within a laboratory absorption column. This process is critical in removing pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO₂ gas) from gas streams by transferring them into a liquid absorbent. The simulator enables users to manipulate process variables, such as water flow rate, air flow rate, and CO₂ concentration, and instantly observe their effects on the system’s gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency.
Through real-time graphical displays and numerical data, users can track changes in gas concentrations and measure the resulting chemical properties of the liquid phase, including pH variations caused by the CO₂ absorption chemical reaction. The tool is grounded in fundamental chemical engineering and mass transfer principles, making it suitable for both educational purposes and preliminary process design or optimization tasks in industrial gas treatment.
This simulator serves as a practical learning platform for understanding the dynamic behavior of gas-liquid absorption columns. It helps users grasp the relationship between operational parameters and absorption efficiency without the need for costly or hazardous lab experiments. By simulating the process virtually, users can experiment with conditions, predict outcomes, and improve their comprehension of the underlying chemical and physical phenomena involved in industrial pollutant removal processes.
