Absorption of Nitrogen Dioxide into Sodium Carbonate Solution in Packed Column
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Absorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas from (NO2/Air or NO2/N2) gas mixture into sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) alkaline solution was performed using packed column in pilot scale. The aim of the study was to improve the Absorption efficiency of this process, to find the optimal operation conditions, and to contribute to the application of this process in the industry. Absorption efficiency (η) was measured by using various operating parameters: gas mixture flow rate (QG) of 20-30 m3/h, nitrogen dioxide inlet concentration (YNO2) of 500-2500 ppm, experimental temperature (T) of 30-50 ℃,Na2CO3 solution concentration (CNa2CO3) of 10-30 wt %, and liquid holdup in the column (VL) of 0.02-0.03 m3according to experimental design. The measured η was in the range of η = 60.80-89.43 %, and of η = 60.10-91.50 % respectively depending on the operating parameters investigated. Computer program (Statgraphics/Experimental Design) was used to estimate the fitted linear models of η in terms of (QG, YNO2, CNa2CO3, T, and VL), and the economic aspects of the process. The accuracy of η models is ± 2.3 %. The linear models of η were adequate, the operating parameters were significant, and the interactions were negligible. Results of η obtained reveal that a negligible influence of oxidation with a maximum deviation of 2.2 %.
