RESUMO

The CO2 absorption process in alkanolamine aqueous solutions was studied in a wetted wall column employing a film promotor of thin stainless steel woven wire, 28 mesh, which was operated in countercurrent. The tested alkanolamines were monoethanolamine (MEA), 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and piperazine (PZ). The absorption experiments were performed in individual aqueous solutions of MEA and AMP and the mixtures MEA:AMP and AMP:PZ, with the aim of evaluating the CO2 absorption rate in different liquid flow rates, namely: 3.10-7, 6.10-7 e 10.10-7 m3/s. This absorption system was characterized through determining of the main parameters of mass transfer: effective interfacial area, individual mass transfer coefficient of the gas phase and the average overall mass transfer volumetric coefficient. The effective interfacial area was determined by the absorption of CO2 diluted in air into an aqueous solution of NaOH for the different liquid flow rates, and the results obtained are 106, 126 and 144 m2/m3, respectively. The mass transfer volumetric coefficient of the gas phase was determined by chemical method of the absorption of SO2 diluted in air into an aqueous solution of NaOH. The experimental results show that the individual mass transfer coefficient and interfacial area are a function of liquid flow rate. On the other hand, the results of the performance of CO2 absorption into amine aqueous solutions were expressed in function of the average overall mass transfer volumetric coefficient and liquid phase diffusive kinetic parameters, which were measured experimentally for different liquid flow rates. The absorption rate in MEA are higher in comparison with AMP and NaOH. In the case of the blended, the absorption rate in AMP is enhanced by piperazine, even in low concentration.
