A model of differential equations for membrane-based absorption of CO2 into complex solutions was presented and
interaction between methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in reactions with CO2 and wetting of the solutions on membrane pores were taken into account in the model.The effects of various factors such as interaction
wetting
modules
liquid and gas velocities
on mass transfer were simulated.Additionally
the effect of the solutions on membrane configuration was analyzed by SEM images.Interaction and wetting were significant non-negligible factors in mass transfer.Overall enhancement factor of complex solution was not summation of that of MDEA and AMP.Membrane resistance rapidly increased and became dominant with partial membrane pores being wetted.Membrane pores were easily wetted at high liquid velocity.SEM images displayed that aqueous solutions of both MDEA and MDEA+AMP made pores bigger and hydrophilic.By taking account of interaction and wetting into model
simulation value was in better agreement with experimental one.
