In this work, a mathematical model is established to describe the removal of CO2 from gaseous mixtures including CH4 and CO2 in a polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor in the presence of conventional absorbents such as monoethanolamine (MEA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), and a blend of them. Modeling was performed in axial and radial directions under the fully-wet condition for counterc...

The removal of CO2 through chemical absorption in a bench-scale spray dryer absorber was investigated experimentally using the lime slurry as absorbent. The effect of important operating parameters on CO2 removal efficiency has been investigated; in selected ranges of operating parameters, increasing gas inlet temperature and absorbent concentration lead to permanent efficiency decline, increas...

alkanolamine solutions such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (amp) are widely used in chemical industries for the removal of acid gases such as co2 and h2s. in this work, the density of co2, amp, water, and amp solutions using the goharshadi–morsali–abbaspour equation of state “gma eos” in the extended 50-degree range of temperatures (313.06-362.65 k) and pressures (0.5-40 mpa) was calculated. th...

OBJECTIVES Mechanical ventilation is injurious to the lung. Use of lung-protective strategies may complicate patient management, motivating a search for better lung-replacement approaches. We investigated the ability of a novel extracorporeal venovenous CO2 removal device to reduce minute ventilation while maintaining normocarbia. DESIGN Prospective animal study. SETTING Government laborato...

Our objective was to determine the temperature and vacuum relationships for efficient removal of added CO2 from raw milk. Added CO2 in milk and dairy products inhibits the growth of spoilage organisms during refrigerated storage and shipping. As milk and milk concentrates are shipped over longer distances, the use of CO2 is becoming more common to maintain raw milk quality. In most cases, some ...

The equilibrium CO2+H2O right arrow over left arrow H++HCO3- had made it impossible to determine how isolated changes in basolateral CO2 ([CO2]) or HCO3- concentration ([HCO3-]), at a fixed basolateral pH, modulate renal HCO3- or reabsorption. In the present study, we have begun to address this issue by measuring HCO3- reabsorption (JHCO3) and intracellular pH (pHi) in isolated perfused rabbit ...

Bicarbonate species in the aqueous phase is the primary source for CO2 for the growth of microalgae. The potential of carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation by Chlorella pyrenoidosa in enriched bicarbonate medium was evaluated. In the present study, effects of parameters such as pH, sodium bicarbonate concentration and inoculum size were assessed for the removal of CO2 by C. pyrenoidosa under mixotrophi...

Total liquid ventilation (TLV) is an effective treatment for severe respiratory failure. However, there still remains the problem about CO2 removal performance from the living body. The CO2 removal efficiency depends on the pressure difference between liquid side and gas side of a membrane oxygenator. In this study, two types of TLV-OX were developed to solve this problem. To produce high CO2 r...

In the past the only option for the treatment of respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aeCOPD) was invasive mechanical ventilation. In recent decades, the potential for extracorporeal carbon dioxide (CO2) removal has been realized. We review the various types of extracorporeal CO2 removal, outline the optimal use of these therapies for aeCOPD, a...

Liquid amines can be immobilized within the pores of polymeric supports to provide a regenerable CO2 sorbent. This paper describes the capture of CO2 by a range of ethanolamines (primary, secondary, and tertiary) immobilized within the pores of high-surface-area poly(methyl methacrylate) beads. These supported amines were used to remove low concentrations (7.6 mmHg) of CO2 by a pressure swing a...
