Answer:

Absorption is the process in which one and more than one component which is known as gas stream are removed from the mixture of the gas, which get absorbed into non volatile liquids.

Stripping is the reverse process of absorption in which more than one gaseous state component are removed by vaporized from gas and liquid state into insoluble gas state.

The factors that affect the absorption and stripping are:

  • Volatility: Low vapor pressure causes low volatility which affect the absorption ans stripping.
  • Relative solubility: If there is more relative solubility then, it results in higher efficiency in separation.
  • Viscosity: Viscosity is the important factor which required optimum viscosity.
