Abstract
The development of new packing materials and absorbents for use in CO2 recovery is urgently needed as a means of reducing greenhouse gases. In this study, we evaluated the absorbents 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and monoethanolamine (MEA) in combination with random packing materials (ceramic Raschig rings and Berl saddles) and a structured gauze packing material. To improve the CO2 absorption efficiency, we developed hybrid packing materials comprising Raschig rings and the structured packing material in various ratios. The effects of the ratio on the gas flow rate, absorbent liquid flow rate, and CO2 absorption/regeneration efficiencies over time were evaluated. The overall mass-transfer coefficients were also calculated. The height of the tower corresponding to one theoretical plate in the absorptive tower design and the available gas–liquid contact area were calculated. This fundamental research will help support efforts to improve the efficiency of CO2 absorption from various industrial exhaust streams.
