Abstract

The separation of CO 2 from flue gas by alcohol amine method was investigated in this paper. We conducted the absorption and desorption experiments using different alcohol amines: monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), triethanolamine (TEA), piperazine (PZ), and their binary mixtures. Relevant absorption rate and desorption rate of CO 2 were obtained and reported. Aspen Plus was applied to simulate the process of recovering CO 2 from flue gas via absorption of PZ-MEA solution. The influences of the lean liquid CO 2 load, lean liquid temperature and desorber pressure on the reboiler duty were investigated, and the optimal operating parameters were obtained on the basis of the minimum reboiler duty.

Highlights

  • Materials and apparatusThe absorbents used in this work are MEA, diethanol amine (DEA), methyl diethanol amine (MDEA) and piperazine (PZ), which are supplied by Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd

  • Higher temperature will inhibit the absorption as the reaction between MEA and CO2 is exothermic

  • We systematically studied the separation of CO2 from flue gas using different alcohol amines
