Absorption methods for the determination of mass transfer parameters of packing internals: A literature review

“…The CO 2 has often been pure, but also mixed into carrier gases such as air or N 2 at concentration between 3 and 15 mol%, or even up to 48 mol% in the case of Payne and Dodge. 122 Laso et al 3 pointed out potential drawbacks of using CO 2 relative to other poorly soluble gases. First, the solubility of CO 2 is greater than that of O 2 , H 2 , or N 2 .…”

The urgency of the development of CO 2 capture from ambient air

“…In addition, many processes for liquefying air require removal of H 2 O and CO 2 before or during cooling (17). Complete CO 2 scrubbing from air at small scales has been studied for many decades (18)(19)(20).…”

Effective interfacial area in packed columns for absorption with chemical reaction

“…The line can be expressed by B = 1 + 0.27 (c~/cni)~" (18) The higher value of the exponent on (CB/CA<) indicates that the reaction between carbon dioxide and potassium hydroxide is faster than the reaction between carbon dioxide and sodium hydroxide.…”

“…In these papers effects of such factors as liquid and gas rates, temperature, and concentrations of the reactive liquid component are presented rather qualitatively. To test the present method of correlation the data of references 2, 8,18, and 27 listed in Table 4" were used. Data of other investigations were not useable either because the size of the apparatus used was not comparable with the one used in the present work or because values of the reaction rate constants andlor solubility were not available.…”
