The model is in good agreement with experimental data. The parametric study showed that the concentration of acid gases in the sweet gas stream increases by decrease in the specific surface area of packing. The peak of selectivity factor decreases with the increase in the mole ratio of CO2/H2S in the gas feed along the packed column. The sensitivity analysis reveals that selecting the accurate correlations of the gas-side mass transfer coefficient and specific surface area is vital. © 2015 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. publisher: Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry date: 2016 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Borhani, T.N.G. and Afkhamipour, M. and Azarpour, A. and Akbari, V. and Emadi, S.H. and Manan, Z.A.
