Abstract
This report is an examination of the practical design of a phosphoric acid production facility wet scrubber. It includes a brief background of the Florida Phosphate Industry, in addition to the rules and regulations affecting the emission of fluoride contaminates. The theoretical aspects of a packed absorption tower is discussed prior to the actual design of a cross-flow wet scrubber of the type typically found in the Florida Phosphate Industry.
