Title: Simultaneous absorption of H/sub 2/S and CO/sub 2/ in aqueous MDEA. [Methyldiethanolamine]

Abstract

In the simultaneous absorption of two gases in a reactive liquid, the rates of absorption of both gases are affected by their competition for the same reactive reagent. The case of absorption of two gases into a reactive liquid where one reacts under second order reaction kinetics while the other reacts instantaneously is of practical interest, since this case represents the absorption of CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/S into amine solutions. The rates of absorption were modeled according to the penetration theory. The model equations consisting of a system of nonlinear differential equations with a moving boundary were solved numerically. The theoretical model was applied to a description of the selective absorption of H/sub 2/S in diethanolamine solution in the presence of CO/sub 2/. The simultaneous absorption of H/sub 2/S and CO/sub 2/ gases into MDEA was studied experimentally using a stirred gas liquid absorber. This case was modeled theoretically assuming one of the gases CO/sub 2/ undergoes a second order reaction condition with the solution while the other gas, H/sub 2/S is entirely gas film controlled. The kinetics of the reaction between both gases and MDEA was studied. Unavailable physical properties such as diffusivities and solubilities of different speciesmore » were measured experimentally using laminar jet apparatus.« less
