Abstract

The absorption and desorption of carbon dioxide in aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) was measured in a rotating packed bed of size 398 mm outside diameter, 156 mm inside diameter, and axial depth 25 mm. The effect of lean amine temperature (20 and 40°C), peripheral rotor gravity (31 and 87 g), and various MEA concentrations were investigated. Using MEA concentrations above 30 wt % achieved lower CO2 penetration levels. This is particularly pronounced for the 100% MEA solution. Comparison with conventional columns showed the advantages of using rotating packed beds in terms of saving size and space and efficient operation. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
