Abstract
Modelling Studies on Reactive Absorption of Carbon Dioxide in Monoethanolamine Solution from Flue Gas in Coal Based Thermal Power Plants
Highlights
India is amongst the top four Carbon dioxide (CO2) producing countries with China, US, and countries under European Union, it produced about 2,341,000 kt of CO2 in 2014 [1]
In India, 38% of total CO2 emission is due to electricity production [2]. 71% of the total electricity supplied in India is generated using thermal power plant of which 62% is fulfilled using coal based thermal power plants [3]
The method involved in this process is reactive absorption, i.e. the absorption of CO2 from the gaseous stream into MEA accompanied by the reaction where CO2 and MEA combine to form ester (R1HCOO−) and primary amine (R1NH3+) which enhances the mass transfer between the two
Summary
India is amongst the top four Carbon dioxide (CO2) producing countries with China, US, and countries under European Union, it produced about 2,341,000 kt of CO2 in 2014 [1]. 71% of the total electricity supplied in India is generated using thermal power plant of which 62% is fulfilled using coal based thermal power plants [3]. This number is huge because India requires a large amount of electricity which is produced by power plants present across the country. The total power capacity from all these plants comes around 167,707.88 MW per year [5] The impact of this huge CO2 emission is rising of global temperature, i.e. global warming, which is posing great threat to the environment but to human life as well [6]. In order to understand the state of art in CO2 absorption, the literature survey has been carried out in presented in following section
