Popis: In this work we report experimental results at loading points and compare them with hydrodinamic and mass transfer model predictions in order to determine the adjusted parameters and to know the relationship between a two-phase countercurrent flow and the geometry of the bed of the packing column. The bed of the packing is essential for the design of rectification and absorption columns. A study of hydrodynamic processes was carried out in an absorption column of 0.252 metre diameter with stainless steel gauze corrugated sheet packing by means of air-water and SO2-water systems. The experiment results include capacity, liquid hold-up and composition. The absorption test produced a total of 48 data points. The average deviation between the measured values of liquid hold-up to the predicted values is 3 time higher than the experimental data.
