Acid Gas Treating by Aqueous Alkanolamines. Annual Report, January-December 1993

摘要

The objective of the work is to investigate the simultaneous absorption ordesorption of CO2 and H2S into and from a mixed aqueous amine solvent consisting of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and diethanolamine (DEA). In work completed thus far, density, viscosity, gas diffusivity, gas solubility, surface tension, and amine solution vapor pressure have been measured for aqueous MDEA, DEA, and MDEA/DEA mixtures over the temperature range 20 to 100 deg. C and for concentrations up to 50 weight %. A mathematical model, based on the penetration theory, for the simultaneous absorption (desorption) of CO2 and H2S into (from) aqueous solutions of MDEA and DEA has been developed.
