carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that contributes to the global warming by more than %60. absorption has been widely used to treat high concentrations of co2 in synthesis gas production, hydrogen manufacturing, and natural gas processing. the most well established method to capture co2 is its removal by absorption into amine solutions in the presence of activators. in this research, co2...

In order to increase the rate of gas absorption, chemical reaction in the liquid phase is considered. The purpose of this paper was to simulate gas absorption process by a liquid film over a spherical packing incorporating eddy viscosity and diffusivity. Second order chemical reaction for two different cases (fast and slow) were considered. The system partial differential equations obtained...

In natural gas treatment, the removal of CO2 and H2S in acid gases is a critical concern. There are various purification technologies that can be used for the removal of acid gas impurities. Absorption of acid gas into amines is one preferred method in gas industries. In the past, single amines was used, but recently in order to improve absorption performance, mixed amines with different solubi...

When 24 different aerobic organisms were grown in a shaken culture, all were found to first absorb gas from the headspace. In a rudimentary medium, such as tryptic soy broth, 16 of the 24 organisms did not produce gas following the initial gas absorption. We have developed a simple, noninvasive method for detecting both gas absorption and production in multiple culture vials. The time to positi...

Natural gas is often associated with nitrogen and heavy compounds. The Heavy components in the natural gas not only can feed downstream units, owing to the low temperature process may be formed solid as well. Therefore, heavy components separation can be a necessity and produce useful products. Virtually, all natural gases are containing nitrogen ​​that would lower the heating value of natural ...

In this paper, an advanced analysis of a novel hybrid compression-absorption refrigeration system (HCARS) for natural gas dew point control unit in a gas refinery is presented. This unit separates the heavy hydrocarbon molecules in the natural gas, which is traditionally carried out by natural gas cooling in a compression refrigeration cycle (CRS). The power input required for the refrigeration...

We present a new, high resolution HST/GHRS spectrum of quasar Q0302003, and use the He Lyman-α absorption, together with a high resolution Keck spectrum of the HI Lyman-α forest, to probe the distribution and ionization state of the protogalactic foreground gas at z ≈ 3.3. Within ≈ 4000 km/sec of the quasar redshift the spectrum shows a substantial flux (τ ≈ 1) with “He Lyman-α forest” absorpti...

We searched for evidence of soft X-ray absorption by hot gas in the vicinity of the Galaxy in a small sample of fifteen type I AGN observed with the high resolution X-ray gratings on board Chandra. We find that around half of the sight lines in our sample exhibit absorption due to local Hor He-like Oxygen (or both) at confidence levels ranging from> 90% to > 3σ. Depending on the sight line, the...
