Abstract
Selection of an appropriate absorbent can provide a potential breakthrough for the chemical absorption method. In this study, after a prescreening, potassium lysinate (PL), an amino acid with high loading capacity, has been selected to blend with monoethanolamine (MEA), an industrial absorbent with high reaction rate, to improve the performance of MEA for CO2 removal. To evaluate the effect of the addition of PL to MEA in terms of loading capacity, the equilibrium solubility of CO2 in MEA+PL blend solutions was determined experimentally by using a Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) at total blend concentration (CT) 2.5mol/L in temperatures between 303 and 323K and CO2 partial pressure ranging from 0 to 50kPa. For further investigation, the density, viscosity (from 303 to 323K) and corrosion rate (at 313K) of blend solutions were also determined. The obtained results indicated that the loading capacity and corrosion rate of blend solutions increase as the blend ratio of PL/MEA increases while viscosity decreases.
