Abstract
The gas/liquid distributor for a counter-current column has tubes for the liquid with outlets extending almost to the column portion underneath. At least ten flues per square meter of area of the distributor base are provided for guiding and distributing the upward-flowing gas. The total flow cross-section of the flues is not more than 10% of the area of the base which fills the entire column cross-section. The flow cross-sections of the flues are constricted in addition to their relatively narrow inlet cross-sections.
