Intensification of CO2 Stripping from Amine Solutions by Ultrasonic

Ultrasound was introduced to enhance CO2 stripping from loaded amine solutions in this work. The effects of ultrasound on desorption of CO2 from loaded amine solutions, i.e. MEA (Monoethanolamine) and MDEA (Methyldiethanolamine), at various temperature, amine concentration, CO2 loading and energy input of ultrasound were investigated at ambient pressure. Energy consumption of CO2 stripping assisted by ultrasound was estimated. The data are useful as a platform for further ultrasonic related research in CO2 capture plant.
