Chemical reaction kinetics between carbon dioxide with two cyclic amines (pyrrolidine and piperidine) have been studied using a stirred tank reactor with a planar interfacial area. The operational variables considered in this work have been the amine concentration in the liquid phase and the reaction temperature. Specific absorption rates have been determined under different experimental conditions. Results indicate that the absorption process occurs in a pseudo first reaction regime exhibited first-order kinetic with respect carbon dioxide and a second order for both cyclic amines. The reaction-rate constant was determined under the different experimental conditions, and it was correlated depending on the temperature by means of an Arrhenius type equation.
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.
