A novel ammonia-based CO2 capture process was proposed in the paper. The process uses magnetically gas-solid-liquid bed as the reactor in which the ferromagnetic particles suspend in aqueous ammonia solutions under the influence of external magnetic field (EMF). A continuous of CO2 passed through the reactor was absorbed by aqueous ammonia. Experiments in a laboratory-scale apparatus were carried out to investigate the roles of EMF. The results showed that the highest CO2 absorption efficiency with 8 mT EMF and 2 g·L-1 nano-magnetic particles reached 94.3%
more than 8.8% compared to that without EMF and nanoparticles. CO2 absorption efficiency with EMF and nanoparticles increased significantly under the conditions of low concentration aqueous ammonia (5%—8%)
large flux of simulated flue gas (3.5 L·min-1) and low absorption temperature (22—36℃). The enhancement of CO2 absorption under the influence of EMF and nanoparticles should be attributed to good gas-liquid contact
large mass transfer coefficient and high reactivity of aqueous ammonia.
