Abstract
In this study, we focus on the effect of water wash on aerosol composition and growth. It is found that water wash systems help in reducing both gaseous and aerosol-born amine emission. Aerosol droplets grow extensively in the water wash section because of water condensation and this may simplify subsequent removal in a demister. Droplet growth is found to be highly sensitive to gas phase amine depletion or content increase caused by high droplet number concentrations. Variations in operating parameters of the absorber and water wash columns were found to have effect on droplet growth and emission levels.
