Abstract

In this work, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was added into diethylenetriamine (DETA) aqueous solution for high $CO_2$ loading via phase splitting of absorbents during $CO_2$ absorption. Immiscible two phases were formed in the range of more than 30 wt% of NMP in 2 M DETA + NMP + water absorbents because of low solubility of DETA-carbamate in NMP solution. As the composition of NMP in the absorbents increased, the difference of $CO_2$ loading between each phase increased and the volume of bottom phase decreased. In $CO_2$ absorption in packed column by 2 M DETA + NMP + water absorbents, the absorption rate decreased in the range of more than 40 wt% of NMP. It is due to the increasing of mass transfer resistance in liquid film of absorbents at the high concentration of NMP. DETA + NMP + water absorbent is expected as the promising one for reducing the regeneration energy of absorbents according to volume reduction of $CO_2-rich$ phase.

본 연구에서는 디에틸렌트리아민(diethylenetriamine, DETA) 수용액에 물리흡수제인 N-메틸-2-피롤리돈(N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, NMP)을 도입한 저수계 흡수제에서 이산화탄소 포집에 따른 흡수제의 상분리 현상을 고찰하였다. 2 M DETA 수용액에서 NMP 조성이 30 wt%를 초과하면 $CO_2$ 흡수에 따라 흡수제의 상이 분리되는데 그 이유는 DETA-카바메이트 이온종의 NMP에 대한 낮은 용해도로 설명할 수 있다. 흡수제 내에서 NMP의 조성이 증가함에 따라 상분리 된 흡수제의 상층과 하층의 이산화탄소 로딩 차이가 커지고 하층의 부피가 감소하게 된다. 2 M DETA + NMP + 물 혼합 흡수제를 이용하여 충진탑에서의 이산화탄소 포집을 실시할 경우 흡수제 내 NMP조성이 40 wt%에 이르면 흡수속도가 줄어드는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 이산화탄소 흡수에 따른 점도 증가로 인한 흡수제 액막에서의 물질전달 저항 때문으로 해석된다. DETA + NMP + 물로 구성된 저수계 흡수제를 이산화탄소 포집에 적용하면 상분리에 따른 이산화탄소-rich 상 부피 감소로 재생에너지를 낮출 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
