A Study of Mass transfer Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in (Monoethanolamine plus Water) by Stirred Cell

The gas phase resistance in a stirred cell was investigated to understand and avoid its influence on the measurement of the reaction kinetics. To validate the influence of gas phase resistance and the experimental conditions of pseudo first order reaction for Monoethanolamine (MEA) + CO2 system, low CO2 partial pressure under various inert gas pressure were employed for CO2 the absorption into 0.5, 1, 3 and 3.6 M MEA solutions with H2O and ethyleneglycol as solvents, respectively. The absorption was investigated with the stirred cell based on a fall-in-pressure technique. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
