Title: CO2 mass transfer enhancement of aqueous amine solvents by particle additives

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for improving carbon capture by providing particles within an amine solvent. The particles provide for increased turbulence at the interface between the counter-flowing gas and solvent, which allows for increased amine and carbamate salt diffusion between the liquid film and bulk.

Dispersed bubble reactor for enhanced gas-liquid-solids contact and mass transfer

Patent Vimalchand, Pannalal; Liu, Guohai; Peng, WanWang; ...

An apparatus to promote gas-liquid contact and facilitate enhanced mass transfer. The dispersed bubble reactor (DBR) operates in the dispersed bubble flow regime to selectively absorb gas phase constituents into the liquid phase. The dispersion is achieved by shearing the large inlet gas bubbles into fine bubbles with circulating liquid and additional pumped liquid solvent when necessary. The DBR is capable of handling precipitates that may form during absorption or fine catalysts that may be necessary to promote liquid phase reactions. The DBR can be configured with multistage counter current flow sections by inserting concentric cylindrical sections into the risermore » « less

Methods to control phase inversions and enhance mass transfer in liquid-liquid dispersions

Patent Tsouris, Constantinos [Oak Ridge, TN]; Dong, Junhang [Oak Ridge, TN]

The present invention is directed to the effects of applied electric fields on liquid-liquid dispersions. In general, the present invention is directed to the control of phase inversions in liquid-liquid dispersions. Because of polarization and deformation effects, coalescence of aqueous drops is facilitated by the application of electric fields. As a result, with an increase in the applied voltage, the ambivalence region is narrowed and shifted toward higher volume fractions of the dispersed phase. This permits the invention to be used to ensure that the aqueous phase remains continuous, even at a high volume fraction of the organic phase. Additionally,more » « less

Methods and systems for emissions control in solvent-based CO2 capture processes using CO2

Patent Rayer Rabindran, Aravind V.; Gupta, Vijay; Mobley, Paul D.; ...

A method with corresponding systems for reducing emission of amines to the atmosphere. The method includes a a) introducing a gas containing CO₂ into an absorber; b) flowing the flue gas through an absorber having an absorbent with a water-lean solution having less than 50% water and one or more amines, with the absorbent capturing the CO₂ and forming a reduced CO₂ content gas having a baseline CO₂ content; and c) washing the reduced CO₂ content gas in a wash column with a wash solution comprising carbonic acid formed by addition of gaseous CO₂ into the wash solution.
