Simulation and pilot plant measurement for CO_2 absorption with mixed amines

摘要

CO2 solubility in an aqueous tertiary amine solution was measured, and thermodynamic models Kent-Eisenberg and Clegg-Pitzer were used to correlate CO2 solubility. Process simulation was also carried out with these models, and simulation results are compared with pilot plant measurement data. The results show that the mixed amine solution of the tertiary amine with MEA could save regeneration energy about 20% compared with 30% MEA aqueous solution.
