Abstract:
The effects of influencing factors such as gas flow rate,liquid flow rate,CO
2 volume fraction,absorption temperature and their interactions on the percent conversion η and the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient in gas phases
KGaeby diethanolamine(DEA) aqueous solution were systematically studied by using orthogonal experimental design and statistical analysis. The impact significance of these influencing factors was estimated. It is found that gas flow rate,liquid flow rate,CO
2 volume fraction,absorption temperature,the interactions between CO
2 volume fraction and gas flow rate,between absorption temperature and liquid flow rate,and between absorption temperature and gas flow rate have remarkable effect on η; however,gas flow rate,liquid flow rate,CO
2 volume fraction,absorption temperature,the interactions between gas flow rate and CO
2 volume fraction and between gas flow rate and absorption temperature have distinguished influence on
KGae. With the increment of gas flow rate,η decreases,while
KGaeincreases.η and
KGaeincrease as the liquid flow rate increases,but they decrease as the CO
2 volume fraction increases. The impact of absorption temperature on η and
KGaeis approximately parabolic.
