A divided wall column has been modeled as a Petlyuk column with no heat transfer across the column wall. The feed to the column has been generalized as a mixture of saturated liquid and vapor (0
The gas sweetening process requires an efficient solvent with strong absorption capability to capture acid gases from flue gas. Absorption can be strong by a chemical formation (as "chemical" absorption) or simple with no chemical reactions (as "physical" absorption). The purpose of the present study was to compare the CO 2 solubility of the chemically absorbing ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmim][Ac]), with the physically absorbing ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF 4 ]), as a function of temperature at (298.15 to 318.15) K for pressure up to 50 bar. In addition, the CO 2 solubility for binary mixtures containing 75% [BF 4 ] are measured over the same temperature range. Henry's law constants are reported for the solubility of CO 2 in the studied pure and mixed ionic liquids. Furthermore, the density of mixed ionic liquids is experimentally measured in T = 298.15 K, 308.15 K, and 318.15 K. Finally, the partial molar thermodynamic functions of solvation containing Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy are evaluated based on the variation of Henry's law constants (as a representative of solubility) with temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
