In this study, it was shown that how CO2 and H2S were removed from a natural gas stream, using a nanofluid containing nanoporous graphene in Diehanolamine (DEA). Before running the experiments, the appropriate values were chosen for the nanosheet dosage and the liquid and gas flow rates in the absorption experiments, which were performed in a laboratory scale wetted wall column. In the expe...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect. The power and industrial sectors combined account for about 60% of the global CO2 emissions [1]. CO2 capture and storage (CCS), which involves the processes of capture, transport and long-term storage of carbon dioxide, is a technology aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels during indus...

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 the context of CO2 emissions reduction from power plants, CO2 removal from flue gas by chemical absorption with monoethanolamine is analyzed in detail. By applying process integration and multi-objective optimization techniques the influence of the operating conditions on the thermo-economic performance and on the optimal thermal integration within a power plant is studied. With the aim of p...

In the light of increasing fears about climate change, greenhouse gas mitigation technologies have assumed growing importance. In the United States, energy related CO2 emissions accounted for 98% of the total emissions in 2007 with electricity generation accounting for 40% of the total. Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is one of the options that can enable the utilization of fossil fuels ...

Designing new liquids for CO2 absorption is a challenge in CO2 removal. Here, achieving low regeneration energies while keeping high selectivity and large capacity are current challenges. Recent cooperative metal-organic frameworks have shown the potential to address many of these challenges. However, many absorbent systems and designs rely on liquid capture agents. We present herein a liquid a...

We built a differential optical absorption spectroscopy system to measure near-surface CO2 absorption in the atmosphere using a nanosecond white light continuum. The white light laser can cover wavelengths ranging from 420 to 2400 nm, where the CO2 and H2O absorption lines are located. At an optical path length of 568 m, it was possible to evaluate atmospheric CO2 concentration from absorption ...

forests as one of the most important terrestrial ecosystems provide many ecosystem services that almost there is no market to present their values. among this non market services, gas regulation has a significant importance. plants absorb co2 and use it in photosynthesis process. this process, in addition to producing plant biomass and releasing o2, has the effective role in reducing the greenh...

In this research, the thermodynamics and mass transfer of CO2 absorption has been studied in a mixture of MDEA-MEA amines. A relation is presented for mass transfer flux in the reactive-absorption process. For this purpose, the effective parameters on the mass transfer flux were investigated in both liquid and gas phases. Then, using dimensional analysis with the Pi-Buckingham theorem, the effe...
