RESUMO
To reduce the huge energy cost of CO2 capture technology applicable in industry, the CO2 absorption-desorption performance was conducted in a novel bench-scale pilot plant with hot water as a heat source. The trisolvent MEA(monoethanol amine)-BEA(butylethanol amine)-AMP(2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) was prepared at a specific concentration to analyze the CO2 capture performance and compared with 5 M MEA as the benchmark. Meanwhile, several solid acid catalysts, blended H-ZSM-5/γ-Al2O3(1/2), or HND-8, were packed in the desorber, and the solid base catalyst, CaCO3 or CaMg(CO3)2, was packed in the absorber with random packing. The CO2 absorption efficiency (AE), cyclic capacity (CC), and heat duty (HD) were tested onto MEA-BEA-AMP and MEA under various operating conditions. Experimental results indicated that the performance of 4.3 mol/L MEA-BEA-AMP was significantly better than 5 M MEA under both catalytic and noncatalytic operation. The most energy efficient combination of this study was discovered as 0.3 + 2 + 2 mol/L MEA-BEA-AMP, with 50 g (CaCO3/CaMg(CO3)2) in the absorber and 150 g H-ZSM-5/γ-Al2O3(1/2) in the desorber. The heat duty reached as low as 2.4 GJ/tCO2 at a FG of 7.0 L/min and a FL of 70 mL/min. These results were highly applicable in an industrial amine scrubbing pilot plant for CO2 capture.
RESUMO
A novel colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor based on a rhodamine 6G phenylurea conjugate showed highly selective and sensitive recognition toward acetate ions in H(2)O-CH(3)CN (1:1, v/v) with fluorescence intensity change and also clear color change from pink to colorless in the presence of Fe(III) ions.
