A rate based model of a packed column for CO2 absorption using aqueous monoethanolamine solution

Physical properties of PZ solution used as a solvent for CO2 removal

“…Thus, climate changes forced by CO 2 depend primarily on cumulative emissions, making it progressively more and more difficult to avoid further substantial greenhouse effects (NOAA, 2013); their mitigation has become a challenge for many years because of their deleterious effects on social, economic and environmental aspects. Therefore the interest in the development of CO 2 capture technology has increased due to the rising effects of global warming (IPCC, 2012) and many techniques have been developed, the most commonly applied being absorption by chemical solvents (Diamantonis et al, 2013;Khan et al, 2011;Lucquiaud and Gibbins, 2011;Mores et al, 2011Mores et al, , 2012Posch and Haider, 2013;Sofia et al, 2014). This technology is a mature technology, with monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) (Khoo and Tan, 2006;Langé et al, 2013;Pellegrini et al, 2011Pellegrini et al, , 2013; * Corresponding author.…”

CO2 capture in power plants: Minimization of the investment and operating cost of the post-combustion process using MEA aqueous solution

“…This paper presents an optimization mathematical model consisting in the minimization of the process total annual cost subject to mass, energy and momentum balances where the process variables are optimized simultaneously. The proposed model used for optimization is an extension of previous models presented in Mores et al (2011Mores et al ( , 2012. Certainly, the previous models were used to study the absorption-desorption processes by solving several optimization problems considering different efficiency criteria.…”

The Dynamic Behavior and Control of Absorption Column

“…Model equations were derived for the time dependent parameters and the model compared with experiments showed that the results of experiments showed agreement with the model results. Mores et al [4] is developed a mathematical model of a packed column for CO2 capture using aqueous monoethanolamine solution. The absorption unit model takes into account.…”
