“…Whereas, in designing and simulating real amine processes, data under stripping conditions are equally important. Furthermore, whatever little work has thus far been done on desorption or stripping (Bosch et al, 1990a,b;Glasscock et al, 1991;Xu et al, 1995) from chemical solvent has been done in isolation and there has never been a major attempt to investigate if the data collected under absorber conditions can be utilized to predict desorption rates. Finally and most importantly, the experimental data on reaction kinetics have been mostly analyzed assuming simplified pseudo-firstorder kinetics and pseudo-first-order or corresponding secondorder rate coefficients have been reported.…”
