Abstract
Unsteady-state absorption of CO2 into w/o emulsion was studied by experimental measurements and prediction from mathematical modeling. Absorption experiments were performed by using a stirred vessel with a flat gas-liquid interface under 0.101 MPa and 25 °C. Continuous phase was benzene that has larger solubility than water. Dispersed phase was an aqueous solution of NaOH and AMP. The effects of reactant concentration, size of emulsified droplets, volume fraction of continuous phase and stirring speed on the absorption rate of CO2 were investigated. In the mathematical model, the mechanism of CO2 absorption into the continuous phase through a gas-liquid interface was described on the basis of the penetration model, while the subsequent absorption/reaction in the dispersed aqueous droplets was modeled by the film model.
