Abstract

In this paper, absorption and reaction characteristics of low $CO_2$ and alkanolamines were investigated. As MEA concentrations increase 1, 2 and 3 wt%, $CO_2$ loadings decrease 0.34 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, 0.32 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent and 0.3 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, respectively. Also, $CO_2$ loadings decrease from 0.32 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, 0.30 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent and 0.28 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent as AMP concentrations increase 1, 2 and 3 wt%. Experimental results with blending solutions show that $CO_2$ loading was the highest, 0.52 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, when 0.5 wt% MEA and 0.5 wt% AMP were blended.

본 논문에서는 저농도 $CO_2$ 조건에서 알카놀아민 흡수제 별 $CO_2$ 흡수 특성을 도출하였다. 단일흡수제의 경우 MEA 농도가 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt% 증가 시 $CO_2$ 흡수량은 0.34 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, 0.32 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, 0.30 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent로 감소하였고, AMP 농도가 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt% 증가 시 $CO_2$ 흡수량은 0.32 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, 0.30 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent, 0.28 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent로 감소하였다. 혼합흡수제의 경우 MEA 0.5 wt%와 AMP 0.5 wt%을 혼합했을 때 0.52 mol-$CO_2/mol$-absorbent로 최대치를 나타냈다.
