CO2 removal in a packed tower with two different fillers
The present study investigated the CO2 capture characteristics of Structured mesh packing BX500 and Pall ring packing 16 x 16 in the absorption tower by using monoethanolamine-methanol solutions. Moreover, it studied the effects of CO2 loading, reaction temperatures, liquid flow rate, and gas flow rate on CO2 capture characteristics. Experimental results concluded that the excellent order of the two fillers was: Structured mesh packing BX500 > Pall ring packing 16 x 16. The absorption temperature at 321 K and the gas flow rate in 1.76 m(3)/h would be the best choice for CO2 capture process.
