This study aimed to investigate CO 2 absorption using chemical solvent of amine H 2 O-TEA-CO 2 in presence of activated carbon (AC) particles. The studied experimental range includes the temperature in range of 293-333 K, pressure in range of 3.5-9.5 bar, the concentration of solvents in range of 2.5-8.5 wt%, and amount of activated carbon in range of 0.3-0.9 kg/m 3 . The central composite design (CCD) with four parameters of temperature, pressure, amine concentration, and active carbon was applied in 5 levels. The physical solubility CO 2 in amine solutions decreases with the increasing temperature that indicates the process is exothermic. The optimal values of temperature, pressure, concentration, and active carbon are 303.0 K, 8.00 bar, 7.00 M, 0.75 g, respectively, and 25.99% for the input variables and desirability index of 0.732. The CO 2 loading, absorption capacity, and absorption percentage are obtained in the range of 0.572-1.180 mol CO2 /mol TEA , 0.208-0.506 wt%, and 12.73-32.61% in Triethanolamine (TEA) solutions in activated carbon, respectively. All dependent variables had a p value of less than 0.05, indicating that models were significant and substantial. The result showed that the addition of solid particles to chemical solvents effectively enhances CO 2 absorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
