“…According to the two-film theory, mass transfer is dominated by the gas film for both SO 2 and NO. ,− K G is approximately equal to k G , as shown in formulas and . In addition, as both the flue gas and the injected absorbent were rotating in the GLAS, the back-mixing could be ignored, the absorbent and the flue gas in the GLAS could be regarded as the plug flow, and the total mass transfer coefficient K G a for both SO 2 and NO could be calculated through formula ; H is the Henry coefficient, kPa·m 3 ·mol –1 ; k G is the mass transfer parameter of the gas phase, kmol·m –2 ·s –1 ·kPa –1 ; k L is the mass transfer parameter of the liquid phase, kmol·m –2 ·s –1 ·kPa –1 ; K G a is the overall mass transfer coefficient of the gas phase, mol·m –3 ·s –1 ·Pa –1 ; t is the gas–liquid contact time, s; R is the ideal gas constant, 8.314 J·mol –1 ·K –1 ; T is temperature, K; V G is the gas flow rate, m 3 ·s –1 ; and V mid is the clearance volume of GLAS, m 3 . …”
