Abstract
- Mass transfer in liquid phase is the rate-limiting step for carbon dioxide capture by ammonia water, which results in a low total mass transfer coefficient and thus a poor carbon dioxide removal efficiency. For this issue, this study established a venturi reactor with an excellent mass transfer performance to promote mass transfer rate during carbon dioxide capture, and investigated the effect of operating parameters of the venturi reactor on carbon dioxide removal efficiency and overall mass transfer coefficient. The results showed that with an increasing flow rate of the jet from 8.31 to 12.73 L/min, the carbon dioxide removal efficiency decreased due to the increase of flow rate of flue gas, and the changing trend of overall mass transfer coefficient gradually transited from increasing to decreasing with the extension of reaction time. The carbon dioxide removal efficiency and the overall mass fraction coefficient increased upon the increase of ammonia concentration from 0.1 wt% to 0.75 wt%. With the increase of inlet carbon dioxide concentration from 7% to 19%, the carbon dioxide removal efficiency and the overall mass transfer coefficient decreased. Venturi reactor was of a fast mass transfer rate during carbon dioxide capture, and the maximum CO <subscript>2</subscript> removal efficiency was 96.4% at ammonia concentration of 0.75 wt%, CO <subscript>2</subscript> volume concentration of 15%, flow rate of jet of 8.36 L/min. This study provided a theoretical value for the development of venturi reactor for carbon dioxide capture.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
