Abstract
This study used sodium glycinate as an absorbent to absorb CO2 in the bubble column scrubber under constant pH and temperature environments to obtain the operating range, CO2 loading, and mass transfer coefficient. For efficient experimentation, the Taguchi method is used for the experimental design. The process parameters are the pH, gas flow rate (Qg), liquid temperature (T), and absorbent concentration (CL). The effects of the parameters on the absorption efficiency, absorption rate, overall mass transfer coefficient, gas–liquid molar flow rate ratio, CO2 loading, and absorption factor are to be explored. The optimum operating conditions and the order of parameter importance are obtained using the signal/noise (S/N) ratio analysis, and the optimum operating conditions are further verified. The verification of the optimum values was also carried out. The order of parameter importance is pH > CL > Qg > T. Evidence in the 13CNMR (Carbon 13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra shows that the pH value has an effect on the solution composition, which affects both the absorption efficiency and mass transfer coefficient. There are 18 experiments for regeneration, where the operating temperature is 100–120 °C. The heat of regeneration was measured according to the thermodynamic data. The CO2 loading, the overall mass transfer, and the heats of regeneration correlation are also discussed in this work. Finally, an operating policy for the CO2 absorption process was confirmed.
