Abstract

ABSTRACT: Environmental concerns from global warming and climate change demand carbon dioxide separation from post-combustion gases. Important parameters are involved in choosing the suitable solvent for carbon dioxide separation, including the reaction rate of carbon dioxide and the solvent. In this paper, the kinetics of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) absorption in aqueous solutions of Monoethanolamine (MEA) + 1, 3-Diaminopropane (DAP), a diamine containing two primary amino group, was developed. The measurements were performed in a stirred cell with a horizontal gas-liquid interface in the temperature range of 313.15–333.15 K and aqueous solutions of 10 wt% MEA + 5 wt% DAP and 12.5 wt% MEA + 2.5 wt% DAP. Experiments were conducted in an isothermal batch reactor with a horizontal gas-liquid interface under pseudo-first-order conditions, enabling the determination of the overall kinetic rate constant from the pressure drop method. Second-order reaction rate constants of CO2 absorption in amine solutions were estimated using the calculated initial absorption rate. It was found that the rate constants in MEA+ DAP solutions were greater than in MEA solutions which means that DAP increases the reaction rate.
