Example of mass transfer Mass transfer operations The operation carried out for separating the component of the mixture, involving the transfer of (mass) material from one homogeneous phase to another, due to the difference in vapor pressure, solubility or diffusivity and in which driving force for transfer is a concentration the difference is called mass transfer operations Example:- Distillation, Gas absorption, Liquid Extraction, Drying Example of mass transfer operations Depending upon phase contact between Gas, liquid and solid phase following are the classification of the mass transfer operations Gas-gas phase contact The fragrance of incense sticks after lightning diffuse from one room to another room. Gas-liquid contact A cup of water left in a room eventually evaporate as a result water molecules diffusing into the air. This is liquid to gas diffusion. Gas absorption:- If a mixture of ammonia and air is contacted with liquid water, a large portion of
