CO2 absorption properties and kinetics characteristics of MDEA/n-butanol/water phase change absorbent
N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)/,n,-butanol/water phase change absorbent has good phase separation performance and has the potential to significantly reduce renewable energy consumption. Since ,n,-butanol replaces part of the water in the phase change absorbent, and phase separation occurs during the absorption process of the phase change absorbent, the CO,2, absorption performance and reaction mechanism of the solution are affected to a certain extent, and the transfer of the rich and lean interphase substances also has a certain impact on its kinetic performance. Therefore, the absorption properties of MDEA/,n,-butanol/water phase change absorbent were studied, and the material composition of the solution under different CO,2, loads was tested by ,13,C NMR characterization, and the mass transfer-reaction mechanism was analyzed. On this basis, the kinetic characteristics were explored. The results show that the addition of ,n,-butanol in the solution increases the initial CO,2 ,absorption rate in the first 9 min of the solution. With the increase of ,n,-butanol content, the CO,2 ,absorption rate of the solution increases first and then decreases, and the CO,2 ,absorption load gradually decreases. The physical solvent ,n,-butanol does not participate in the reaction, and the reaction of MDEA with CO,2, in the phase change absorbent follows the reaction mechanism of alkali catalyzed water. After phase separation, the lean phase solution is mainly MDEA,n,-butanol and water, and the rich phase solution is mainly the reaction products of MDEA and CO,2,. At low CO,2, absorption load (less than 1.12 mol/L),n,-butanol improves the physical solubility of CO,2, in solution, promotes the rapid reaction of MDEA with CO,2, in the lean phase, and then promotes the dissolution of CO,2, in the gas phase. The process of dissolution promoting reaction and reaction promoting dissolution makes the initial CO,2 ,absorption rate of MDEA/,n,-butanol/water phase change absorbent higher than that of MDEA aqueous solution. At high CO,2, absorption load (more than 1.45 mol/L), the phase separation degree of the solution is close to the ideal phase separation state, the water content in the lean phase is less, the concentration of MDEA in the rich phase is lower, and the concentration of reaction products is higher, which reduces the reaction rate of CO,2, and the solution.
