Abstract
CO2 solubility data are important for the efficient design and operation of the acid gas CO2 capture process using aqueous amine mixture. 2-(Diethylamino)ethanol (DEEA) solvent can be manufactured from renewable sources like agricultural products/residue, and 1,6-hexamethyldiamine (HMDA) solvents have higher absorption capacity as well as reaction rate with CO2 than conventional amine-based solvents. The equilibrium solubility of CO2 into aqueous binary mixture of DEEA and HMDA was investigated in the temperature range of 303.13-333.13 K and inlet CO2 partial pressure in the range of 10.133-20.265 kPa. Total concentration of aqueous amine mixtures in the range of 1.0-3.0 kmol/m3 and mole fraction of HMDA in total amine mixture in the range of 0.05-0.20 were taken in this work. CO2 absorption experiment was performed using semi-batch operated laboratory scale bubble column to measure equilibrium solubility of CO2 in amine mixture, and CO2 absorbed amount in saturated carbonated amine mixture was analyzed by precipitation-titration method using BaCl2. Maximum equilibrium CO2 solubility in aqueous amine mixture was observed at 0.2 of HMDA mole fraction in total amine mixture with 1.0 kmol/m3 total amine concentration. New solubility data of CO2 in DEEA+HMDA aqueous mixtures in the current study was compared with solubility data available in previous studies conducted by various researchers. The study shows that the new absorbent as a mixture of DEEA+HMDA is feasible for CO2 removal from coal-fired power plant stack gas streams.
