Abstract
Abstract In the present study, the mass transfer performance of CO2 absorption into 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (1DMA2P) as a novel amino alcohol solvent has been theoretically investigated in a split-flow absorber-stripper unit. The mass transfer performance has been presented in terms of CO2 absorption flux and overall mass transfer coefficient (KGav) by simultaneous considering of chemical reactions and mass transfer phenomenon. The developed comprehensive mathematical model has been validated based on related experimental data in literature. The impact of main operation parameters including liquid feed temperature, amine concentration, liquid velocity and CO2 loading were evaluated. The presented results indicated that increasing the liquid feed temperature, amine concentration and liquid flow rate improves the overall mass transfer coefficient. Also, the CO2 absorption performance of conventional and alternative amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), piperazine (PZ), 4-(diethylamino)-2-butanol (DEAB) and 1DMA2P have been investigated and compared in order to provide guidelines about effective screening of solvents. The modeling results indicated that the KGav for CO2 absorption into different solution can be ranked as follows: PZ>MEA>DEA>DEAB>1DMA2P>MDEA>TEA.
