Solvents Used For Co2 Absorption
• For simplicity, the free molecular species CO2 and the ionic species CO3-2 and OH-
in the liquid phase have been neglected since concentration of these species are
very low compared to the other species present in the equilibrated liquid phase.
*But observed that neglecting the concentration of free molecular CO2, and OH-
and CO3-2 ions in the liquid phase in this system for CO2 loading below 1.0 does not
result in significant error in the VLE predictions
*)The objectives of this work are to present a consistent VLE data set for MEA through experimental VLE measurements for 15,
30, 45 and 60 wt% MEA in the low and high CO2 loading regions from 40 to 120 *C use these data together with CO2 solubility
data based on the N2O analogy, to provide a rigorous equilibrium model based on the extended UNIQUAC model framework
*) The extended UNIQUAC model results for the N2O (physical) solubility of 30 wt% MEA are shown in figure 1. The average
absolute relative deviation (AARD) value of 2.7% indicates a very good representation of experimental data
Process Intensification Systems
Process intensification uses or combines technologies to produce significantly
smaller, cleaner or more energy efficient processes. Process intensification will
reduce process footprint, save on energy inputs, and reduce overall costs for
equipment.
