high regenerated energy and low absorbed rate in the late stage
which exist in the research of carbon capture by ammonia now
this paper presents a novel process of carbon capture by ammonia with reinforced crystallization
using a new type of aqueous ammonia-ethanol mixing absorbent. The effect of absorption and crystalline regularity under different absorbent ingredients
different absorption temperatures
different flue gas flow
and different CO2 volume fraction is studied using a semi-continuous bubbling reaction system. The experimental results show that mixing absorbent with relatively high ratio of ethanol
relatively low absorption temperature
and higher gas flow and larger volume fraction of CO2 will be favorable for strengthening of process
including that the appearing time of crystals in the absorbent could bring forward and the ratio of ammonia account in the crystals to the initial total ammonia could be up to 38.75% as well as the CO2 absorption capacity was improved significantly compared to pure aqueous ammonia. Novel ideas presented in this paper could be that a carbon capture process by ammonia with reinforced crystallization is suggested
and better conditions were given for improving absorption and reducing consumption of desorption energy. All basic data and results provided by this paper could be useful for further study of this new process.
