Abstract

This study investigates the removal efficiency of carbon dioxide by aqueous absorbents containing monoethanolamine (MEA), piperazine(PZ), diethylenetriamine(DETA) and ionic liquids in a rotating packed bed. The performance of an absorbent was assessed in terms of an overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient and regeneration heat duty. The CO2 removal efficiency in a rotating packed bed was observed to be more suitable than that in a packed column, suggesting a potential of a rotating packed bed can replace a traditional packed column to the usage of reduction of the greenhouse gas CO2 from the exhausted gas. The mixture containing PZ and DETA exhibited a high CO2 removal efficiency among these absorbents. Besides, DETA has a lower regeneration heat duty than MEA, which means the finest mixture for industrial CO2 capture system will be the combination of PZ, DETA, and ionic liquids, instead of traditional alkanolamines, MEA.
