Performance of CO2 absorption in a diameter-varying spray tower
摘要
Abstract
The application of spray towers for CO
2
capture is a development trend in recent years. However
most of the previous jobs were conducted in a cylindrical tower by using a single spray nozzle
whose configuration and performance is not good enough for industrial application. To solve this problem
the present work proposed a diameter-varying spray tower and a new spray mode of dual-nozzle opposed impinging spray to enhance the heat and mass transfer of CO
2
absorption process. Experiments were performed to investigate the mass transfer performance (in terms of the CO

) and the overall mass transfer coefficient (

under the experimental conditions. Furthermore
new correlations to predict the mass transfer coefficient of the proposed spray tower are developed in various CO
2
concentrations with a Pearson Correlation Coefficient over 90%.
