Characterization of aerosol emissions from CO2 capture plants treating various power plant and industrial flue gases

摘要

Undesired aerosol formation in gas-liquid contact devices has been a well-known phenomenon in the chemical industry for several decades and can cause severe problems in industrial gas cleaning processes. Several studies indicate that aerosols can govern the total amine emissions from amine based CO2 capture (PCCC) plants. Despite the importance of aerosol formation and mitigation for the design of a PCCC plant, very little knowledge is available on the characterization and growth of these aerosols.
