Wanderley, Ricardo R.; Pinto, Diego D. D.; Knuutila, Hanna K. published the artcile< Investigating opportunities for water-lean solvents in CO2 capture: VLE and heat of absorption in water-lean solvents containing MEA>, COA of Formula: C5H10O2, the main research area is flue gas carbon dioxide absorption water lean solvent; amine wet scrubbing carbon dioxide absorption; vapor liquid equilibrium water lean solvent carbon dioxide absorption; high volatility solvent carbon dioxide absorption; low volatility solvent carbon dioxide absorption.
A thorough study of a set of organic diluents for water-lean solvent formulation was conducted. Performance of 30 weight percent/weight aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) 30 was compared to that of mixtures of 30 weight percent/weight MEA and methanol, acetone, monoethylene glycol (MEG), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (THFA), sulfolane, cyclopentanone (CC5), furfuryl alc., and γ-butyrolactone. A small calorimeter was used to obtain vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) and heat of absorption data. Shifting from aqueous to non-aqueous solvents had significant implications for VLE, since all water-lean solvents had lower CO2 solubility than aqueous MEA; however, heat of absorption was not much affected. Results showed the limitations of using most ethers, esters, and ketones for water-lean solvent formulation, all stemming from the very low dielec. permittivity of these diluents and the difficulty of stabilizing intermediate reaction species between MEA and CO2 within these systems. Nevertheless, the low volatility of solvents containing MEG, NMP, or THFA could offer opportunities for processes with overall less reboiler heat duties than that of ordinary aqueous MEA.
