AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON POST-COMBUSTION CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE IN CYLINDRICAL AND CONICAL ABSORPTION COLUMNS
Abstract
The present paper focuses on the fabrication and testing of a laboratory-scale experimental facility for capturing carbon dioxide from a source stream of gases. The design of an absorption column includes cylindrical and cone-shaped geometries. Aqueous NaOH and aqueous NH3 solution were used as the solvent in a packed bed. The absorption column contains raschig ring as the random packing material. The effect of flow rate of solvent on CO2 capture efficiency has presented for both absorption columns.
