    CO2 Absorber

    Uploaded by

    A CO2 absorber column uses a potassium carbonate and bicarbonate solution to absorb CO2 from a bottom distillation product containing CO2 and nitrogen. The nitrogen purge stream leaves the top while CO2-rich solution exits the bottom. This solution then enters a CO2 stripper where heating separates the CO2 gas, which leaves at the top to be collected, from the regenerated solution, which is cooled and recycled to absorb more CO2.

    CO2 Absorber

    The bottom product from the distillation column mostly consists of CO2
    and impurities such as nitrogen. A portion of the gas is sent to the CO2
    absorber column, operating at 176 psig. A carbonate solution consist of
    11 wt.% potassium carbonate and 13 wt.% potassium bicarbonate is
    pumped to the top of the column to absorb CO2 from the gas and leaves
    at the bottom of the absorber. The top product of the CO2 absorber which
    consists of nitrogen leaves as purge stream.
    CO2 Stripper
    The CO2 rich carbonate solution is sent through the CO2 stripper where it
    is heated upto 214 oF and then pumped into the top of CO2 stripper
    column, where the solution is heated to 221 F at 2 psig in order to
    separate the carbonate solution from the CO2. The solution is collected at
    the bottom is cooled down in the stripper and recycled back into the CO2
    absorber while the CO2 rich gas leaves the top of the stripper column.
