Using the absorption of ammonia in aqueous sulfuric acid solutions, a model system to study ‘honeycomb’‐type packings made of various materials (ceramics and plastics) is presented by the author. The experimental results are described by two equations, one for plastic and the other for ceramic packings. The proposed equations can also be used to determine the critical point after which the packing is completely wetted.
