Removal of Carbon Dioxide Using Emulsion Liquid Membrane Containing N-methyldiethanolamine and Piperazine in Rotating Disc Contactor

Separation and Fixation of Carbon Dioxide Using Polymeric Membrane Contactor

Polypropylene hollow fiber membrane (PPHFM) contactor, with aqueous solution absorbent such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA), was designed and used to separate and fix CO2 from CO2/N2 gas mixtures. The factors that influence the separation properties of CO2/N2 were investigated. It was found that the CO2 removal efficiency is the best by using MEA solu...

Modeling and Experimental Study of Carbon Dioxide Absorption in a Flat Sheet Membrane Contactor

comIn the present study, CO2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. A three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. The model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. The model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...

Fabrication and Characterization of Polyetherimide Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactor for Carbon Dioxide Stripping from Monoethanolamine Solution

In this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. Aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (NMP) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. The morphology of fabricated membranes...

Experimental Study of Phase Inversion in n-Butylacetate-Water, Kerosene-Water, and n-Heptane-Water Systems in a Rotating Disc Contactor Column

A Vortex Contactor for Carbon Dioxide Separations

Introduction Many analysts 1,2,3 identify carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture and separation as a major roadblock in efforts to cost effectively mitigate greenhouse gas emissions via sequestration. An assessment 4 conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Programme cited separation costs from $35 to $264 per tonne of CO 2 avoided for a conventional coa...
