Experimental Study On Co2 Absorption Into Aqueous Ammonia Based Absorbents

This document presents an experimental study on CO2 absorption into aqueous ammonia-based solvents. It discusses the types of absorption processes and provides details on the experimental setup used to study CO2 absorption and regeneration. The results show that adding promoters like sarcosinate and taurinate can increase the CO2 mass transfer coefficient for absorption. Temperature and concentration also impact the absorption rate. For regeneration, a membrane vacuum system achieved high NH3 removal efficiency in a continuous process. Overall, aqueous ammonia solvents show potential for CO2 capture but require optimization of absorption rates and regeneration.

Experimental Study on Co2 Absorption into

Aqueous Ammonia based Absorbents

AZEEM TAHIR
Absorption
• Transfer of one or more Components from the
gas phase to a liquid solvent
• Operation in which a gas mixture is contacted
with a liquid for the purpose of dissolving one or
more components of the gas mixture and to
provide a solution of them in the liquid

2
Uses of Absorption process
• Gas purification (eg , removal of air pollutants from
exhausts gases
• Product Recovery
• production of solutions of gases for various purposes.
• Removal of the undesired component from the gases
(Pollution)
• To separate the component that has the economic value

3
Types of Absorption
Physical Absorption
• major mass transfer happens from the gas phase to the
liquid phase solely by the diffusion
• No chemical reaction occurs

Chemical Absorption
• involves a chemical reaction between the substance
being absorbed (Solute) and the absorbing medium
(Solvent/Absorbent)

Why Aqueous Ammonia based Absorbents ?
• good thermal and oxidative stabilities
• lower regeneration energy
Traditional amine-based absorbents, such as
monoethanolamine (MEA), suffer from
• high energy consumption
• Oxidative loss
• thermal degradation
• Corrosive

7
Draw backs using Aqueous Ammonia based
Absorbents
Aqueous ammonia-based absorbents faces two
major challenges

• Low CO2 absorption rate


• high volatility

8
Solution of these problems
• Adding promoters to increase the mass transfer
coefficient of Co2
• detailed mass transfer study of CO2 into ammonia based blended solutions
to investigate the effects of temperature and additive concentration

• membrane vacuum regeneration for recovery

9
Promotors used
• sarcosinate (SAR)
• taurinate (Tau)
• glycinate (Gly)
• piperazine (PZ)
• 1-methyl piperazine (1-MPZ)
• MEA

Results and discussion
• Selction of Promotors
• Mass transfer coefficients for CO2 absorption in various ammonia-
based blended solvents at 3 CO2 loadings.

Effect of Temperarure
Overall mass transfer coefficients as a function of temperature
of three different solutions

14
Effect of Concentartion
Overall mass transfer coefficients as a function of concentration for CO2
absorption in 3 M NH3+SAR- solutions at 288 K.

15
NH3 concentration after regeneration and the NH3 removal efficiency as a
function of solvent flow rate.

16
NH3 concentration and the NH3 removal efficiency as a function of time in a
continous membrane vacuum regeneration process

the volume of the solvent is 600 ml and the solvent flow rate is 50 ml/min
