Abstract

Components are removed from gas streams by contact in a contact zone with finely-divided droplets of reversible liquid sorbent wherein a portion of the droplets is coalesced, which droplets contain a concentration of component sorbed greater than that predicted by vapor-liquid equilibrium at the condition of the gas stream at the exit of the contact zone.
