Physical absorption of volatile organic compounds by spraying emulsion in a spray tower: Experiments and modelling

- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal spray tower.
- Emulsion absorbs both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds - efficiency of 90%.
- Gas-liquid mass transfer and the hydrodynamics were investigated.
- Liquid mass transfer coefficient was strongly enhanced by this contactor.
- A model describing the efficiency of the process in function of time was developed.
