Influence of Sulphuric Acid on Absorption Kinetic of Carbon Dioxide in Monoethanolamine

The absorption of carbon dioxide into monoethanolamine (MEA) solution has been studied. A specific setup allowing controlling gas-liquid interface has been studied. It is based on a stirred reactor. This study presents the determination of physicochemical and kinetic parameters. Determination has been done for MEA solution with and without sulphuric acid. This acid will illustrate the accumulation of SOx present in the fumes of a typical industrial process.
