Abstract
This paper tests the performance of microporous polyvinylidinefluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber in a gas absorption membrane process (GAM) using the aqueous solutions of piperazine (PZ) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP). Experiments were conducted at various gas flow rates, liquid flow rates and absorbent concentrations. Experimental results showed that wetting ratio was about 0.036% when used with the aqueous alkanolamine solutions, while that was 0.39% with aqueous piperazine solutions. The CO2 absorption rates increased with increasing both liquid and gas flow rates at NRe < 20. The increase of the PZ concentration showed an increase of absorption rate of CO2. The CO2 absorption rate was much enhanced by the addition of PZ promoter. The resistance of membrane was predominated as using a low reactivity absorbent and can be neglected as using absorbent of AMP aqueous solution. The resistance of gas-film diffusion was dominated as using the mixed absorbents of AMP and PZ. An increase of PZ concentration, the resistance of liquid-film diffusion decreased but resistance of gas-film increased. Overall, GAM systems were shown to be an effective technology for absorbing CO2 from simulated flue gas streams, but the viscosity and solvent-membrane relationship were critical factors that can significantly affect system performance. © 2008 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers.
