METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REGENERATING ABSORBENT

摘要

An apparatus for the regenerating of absorbent is disclosed wherein the apparatus comprises a regenerating column provided with mass transfer-promoting elements. The regenerating column comprises an upper regenerating zone which can be shut down and is provided with at least one shutoff valve-controlled inlet for laden absorbent and a lower second regenerating zone provided with a second shutoff valve-controlled inlet for the same laden absorbent, the volume ratio of the second regenerating zone to the upper regenerating zone being at least about 1.5:1. A process for regenerating laden absorbent is also disclosed.
