Abstract:Monoethanolamine (MEA), 2-butylaminoethanol (BEA) and diethylaminoethanol (DEEA) were employed as absorbents in a continuous hot-water decarbonization apparatus to investigate the CO2 absorption and desorption performances of the three absorbents under specific proportions and different catalyst combinations, aiming to determine the optimal CO2 capture strategy and reduce desorption energy consumption. The experimental results show that the CO2 absorption and desorption performance of the 4.5 mol/L MEA-BEA-DEEA ternary amine system is superior to that of the traditional 30% (mass fraction) MEA solution. When the inlet temperature of the absorption tower is 25 ℃ and 150 g of HND-8 catalyst is added, the catalytic effect of solid acid is the best. At this time, the cyclic capacity is 46.3 mmol CO2/min and the desorption energy consumption is 2.21 GJ/t CO2. After adding another 30 g of dolomite on this basis, the overall performance of the system reached its peak, with the cyclic capacity increase to 53.8 mmol CO2/min and the desorption energy consumption reduce to 1.92 GJ/t CO2, representing a 54.3% reduction in desorption energy consumption relative to the 30% MEA solution.
