Rate-Based Modelling and Validation of an Absorber and Stripper in an Amine-Based Post-Combustion CO 2 Capture Process

Carbon emissions capture and storage is regarded as an essential approach to mitigate the greenhouse effect led by carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuels combustion. Amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture technologies have great potential for retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants. In this paper, a mathematical model for a packed absorber and stripper in a CO2 capture process are developed. Typical aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA)...
