“…Despite its significance, the amine based CO 2 capture technology suffers from the huge energy consumption and large amine solution flow rate, which will result in significant increases in the cost of electricity (Davison, 2007). To compensate the heat penalty, researchers have carried out extensive studies on amine based CO 2 capture technology, but studies are mainly focused on chemical reaction mechanism, mass transfer, gas/liquid equilibrium and other related aspects (Alie et al, 2005;Aroonwilas et al, 2003;Goto et al, 2009;Aroua et al, 2002;Freguia and Rochelle, 2003). Tobiesen et al (2008) developed a numerical model for CO 2 desorption including desorber packing, reboiler and condenser.…”
