Carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery by vacuum stripping at low temperatures (below 100°C) could be a promising technology to substitute the desorption process in conventional aqueous amine absorption process. We prepared composite membranes by coating hydrophobic silicalite-filled PDMS layers on porous PE supports and used as new membrane strippers for CO2 recovery to prevent typical pore wetting problem of hydrophobic PTFE porous membranes. Aqueous 30 wt% solutions of MEA, DEA, and TEA were used as absorbents in the desorption process. CO2 fluxes were measured under various operation conditions, such as different vacuum pressures, stripping temperatures, CO2 loadings, types of amine solutions and operation time. The composite membranes showed excellent long-term stability in vacuum stripping process when compared with porous PTFE membranes. |
