A new approach to the mathematical modeling of packed absorption columns operating in the emulsification mode, which makes it possible to estimate the actual surface of the contact phase of the mass transfer products is presented. Equations for calculating the average diameter of the gas phase bubbles, the thickness of the liquid film between the bubbles in the packed absorption mass-exchange column operating in the emulsification mode are derived on the basis of the equality of the formation energy of the phase interface and the base of their overcoming the hydraulic resistance. A comparison of technological and geometric parameters of a typical packed absorption column with Raschig rings and a column with S-Aisi316Tiε-0.82 packing material based on the metalworked wastes.
