Description
Summary:Post-combustion CO 2 capture by aqueous amine solvent is one of the most promising methods for mitigating the presence of CO 2 in the environment. In this work, a novel amine blend of Diethylenetriamine and 3-Dimethyl amino-1-propanol was selected. Experiments were performed in the temperature range of 293.15–323.25 K, mole fraction of diethylenetriamine in the range of 0.05–0.2, partial pressure of CO 2 in the range of 10.13–25.33 kPa and solution concentration in the range of 1–3 mol·L −1 . Effects of these parameters on equilibrium CO 2 loading were judged at various operating conditions. An empirical model was developed for the calculation of equilibrium CO 2 loading in the aqueous amine blend. The heat of absorption of CO 2 for this amine blend was found to be −65.22 kJ·mol −1 . Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for optimization and a quadratic model was selected. The analysis of variance was used to prove the significance of the selected model. Three-dimensional diagrams and contour plots of independent variables were also shown. Optimum CO 2 loading by RSM was found to be 1.068 mol CO 2 ·mol amine −1 at temperature 294.15 K, mole fraction of diethylenetriamine 0.20, solution concentration 1.3 mol/l, and partial pressure of CO 2 24.22 kPa.
