Question

what is the safety , enviromential and hazerd for scrubber column use in prodection of acetone

Answer 1

safety

1) Adsorbing material should not be saturated otherwise pressure drop will be more and may cause incasuality to the surroundings.

2) The temperature to be maintained at optimum.

3) The optimum velocity of the acetone to be maintained so that properly it can separate may be some choking can happen which can cause damage to the column.

Environmental

1) proper scrubbing should be done otherwise chemical compound will reach to air and will damage the environment

2) optimum velocity to be maintained to seperate the gas from the column and prevent it to reach into the environment

3) entrainment should not take place

Hazard

1) Adsorbing material has to be checked on a regular basis and replaced after its surface is get clogged it may damage the equipment.

2) pressure drop should be monitored to prevent any hazard

3) column inspection should be there so that there is no leakage of gas
