Can anyone post a step by step procedure for designing an Air stripping tower for Red Nitric Acid? 
 

I Am only Given this data

 

Composition of Stream to be Purified:

 

Red Nitric Acid IN:

 

HNO3 = 23,371.20 kg/day

H2O   = 15,580.80  kg/day

N2O4 = 2,050.11    kg/day

 

The Impurity to be stripped is N2O4.. 

 

Mass of Air IN = 24,132.08 kg/day

 

 

Concerns:

1. How can I calculate for the overall mass transfer coeffecient?

2. How can I calculate the actual flow rates of the streams and the capacity of the equipment?
