Abstract:

The mechanism study on CO2 absorption in aqueous solution of TETA and MDEA has been conducted. The solubility and absorption rate of CO2 in MDEATETAH2O (2.7 mol MDEA/L + 0.3 mol TETA/L) are studied by using a dynamic absorption technique. A simplified gasliquid equilibrium model for the CO2TETAMDEAH2O system and the rate equation of CO2 absorption in the solution are developed. Predicted and experimental CO2 equilibrium solubility,CO2 equilibrium partial pressures and CO2 absorption rate are all in good agreement, and the relative error is less than 10%. The model and equation are reliable for commercial unit design.

Key words: MDEA, TETA, carbon dioxide absorption, gasliquid equilibrium, kinetics
