Title: Carbon Dioxide Absorption Modeling for Off-Gas Treatment in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

Abstract

The absorption of carbon dioxide is an important process in many practical applications such as reduction of greenhouse gases, separation and purification processes in the chemical and petroleum industries, and capture of radioactive isotopes in the nuclear fuel cycle The goal of this research is to develop a dynamic model to simulate CO ₂ absorption by using different alkanolamines as absorption solvents. The model is based upon transient mass and energy balances for the chemical species commonly present in CO ₂ gas-liquid absorption. A computer code has been written to implement the proposed model. Simulation results are discussed. The reported model simulates well the response to dynamic changes in input conditions. The proposed model can be used to optimize and control the separation of carbon-14 in the form of CO ₂ in the nuclear industry.

Determination of reactive mass transfer coefficients for CO₂ absorption predictions

Journal Article Gabitto, Jorge ; Tsouris, Costas - Separation Science and Technology

Absorption of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by solvents is an important process in many practical applications such as capture of greenhouse gases from flue gas, gas processing in the chemical and petroleum industries, capture of radioactive isotopes in the nuclear cycle, etc. High pH alkaline solutions were used in this research project to capture CO₂. The chemical reaction between CO₂ and the hydroxyl ion is known to significantly increase the absorption rate compared to the same process without chemical reaction. The aim of this report is to study the influence of the chemical reaction on the absorption rate. Because of this,more »« less

Performance characteristics and modeling of carbon dioxide absorption by amines in a packed column

Journal Article Lin, S H ; Shyu, C T - Waste Management

Carbon dioxide (CO[sub 2]) is widely recognized as a major greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. To mitigate the global warming problem, removal of CO[sub 2] from the industrial flue gases is necessary. Absorption of carbon dioxide by amines in a packed column was experimentally investigated. The amines employed in the present study were the primary mono-ethanolamine (MEA) and tertiary N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), two very popular amines widely used in the industries for gas purification. The CO[sub 2] absorption characteristics by these two amines were experimentally examined under various operating conditions. A theoretical model was developed for describing the CO[sub 2]more »« less

Simulation of carbon dioxide absorption by amino acids in two-phase batch and bubble column reactors

Journal Article Gabitto, Jorge ; Custelcean, Radu ; Tsouris, Costas - Separation Science and Technology

The absorption of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a critical process in many practical applications. The use of amino acid solutions as absorption solvents has the potential to reduce the amount of energy required by the regeneration process. The goal of this research project is to develop dynamic models to simulate CO₂ absorption by using amino acid solutions as absorption solvents. A reaction scheme is introduced to represent the chemical reactions between the amino acid and CO₂. Two reaction models, for a two-phase batch reactor and a bubble column, based upon transient mass and energy balances for the chemical species foundmore »« less

Geothermal carbon dioxide for use in greenhouses

Journal Article Dunstall, M G ; Graeber, G - Geo-Heat Center Quarterly Bulletin

Geothermal fluids often contain carbon dioxide, which is a very effective growth stimulant for plants in greenhouses. Studies have shown that as CO{sub 2} concentration is increased from a normal level of 300 ppm (mmol/kmol) to levels of approximately 1000 ppm crop yields may increase by up to 15% (Ullmann`s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 1989). It is suggested that geothermal greenhouse heating offers a further opportunity for utilization of the carbon dioxide present in the fluid. The main difficulty is that plants react adversely to hydrogen sulphide which is invariably mixed, at some concentration, with the CO{sub 2} from geothermalmore »« less
Rigorous simulation of gas absorption into aqueous solutions

Journal Article Cadours, R ; Bouallou, C - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

For both energy and environmental purposes, acid gases must be removed from natural gas, as well as in petroleum refining, coal gasification, and hydrogen production. For such a purification, absorption with aqueous solutions of alkanolamines remains the dominant industrial technology. A general model based on the film theory is used to set up the diffusion/reaction partial differential equations which describe the absorption of gases with multiple reversible reactions. This model includes the electrostatic terms that arise from differences in diffusivities. The system of equations made up of a set of partial differential equations and an algebraic equation is solved bymore »« less
