Abstract

The mass transfer coefficient (K_Ga_v) and the removal efficiency of carbon dioxide for aqueous MEA-based absorption process were investigated in a packed absorber filled with θ-ring stainless steel packing. The experiment results showed that K_Ga_v decreased with the increase of CO₂ lean-loading, and increased with the rise of MEA concentration and liquid flow rate. In addition, an increase in feed temperature from 30 to 50°C led to an increase in K_Ga_v.
