Equilibrium CO2 Capture in Aqueous Blend of Trisodium Phosphate and Piperazine Monoj Kumar Mondal,* Jaivinder Singh, and Dishant Khatri Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi 221005, Uttar Pradesh, India ABSTRACT: Most of the researchers have shown growing interest in solubility related phenomena in the field of CO2 capture. In the present work, the new experimental CO2 capacity data at equilibrium in aqueous absorbent containing trisodium phosphate (TSP) and piperazine (PZ) have been presented at inlet partial pressures of CO2 from (9.96 to 20.28) kPa, temperature ranging from (303 to 353) K, and total blend concentrations from (1.0 to 3.0) mol·kg−1 using a bubbling absorber. The results were compared with the literature to show the effectiveness of this novel blend absorbent system.

INTRODUCTION

One of the chief amine based absorbents used for CO2 capture is PZ. The major advantages of PZ are its high reaction rate and resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation.22 It is also used as an activator for CO2 removal solvents to improve kinetics of the process. The CO2 absorption rate with aqueous PZ is more than twice that of commercially used MEA.23 Recently, Balsora and Mondal21 showed the efficiency of TSP as a promising absorbent for the removal of CO2 from simulated thermal power plant stack gases with a maximum CO2 uptake capacity of 0.960 mol CO2/mol absorbent at 333.14 K and 2.0 kmol/m3 TSP concentration, which is quiet high as compared to conventional absorbents like MEA. The TSP is an inorganic water-soluble ionic salt that acts as a cleaning agent, food additive and degreaser. Apart from this, TSP is highly economical, easily available and very cheap to use. Hence owing to the need of efficient absorbent for CO2 capture to enhance absorption performance, the blend of a less corrosive hindered amine PZ among other amines as powerful activator with an inorganic absorbent TSP was used for experimental studies. As both of these individual absorbents have very high CO2 uptake capacity, the present work is aimed to study the combined capacity of these absorbents as an aqueous blend on CO2 absorption at temperatures of the blend from (303 to 353) K, total blend concentrations in the range (1.0 to 3.0) mol·kg−1, and inlet CO2 partial pressures from (9.96 to 20.28) kPa.

Global warming and its potential effect on climate change have been debated extensively and greenhouse gases have been identified as its major contributor. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main greenhouse gas, accounting for more than 50 % and responsible for more than 64 % of the enhanced greenhouse effect.1 Global CO2 emissions increased by over 70 % between 1971 and 2002,2 and there has been an estimation that the world energy-related CO2 emissions are increasing at a rate of about 2.1 % per year3 This growth rate is likely to increase unless something significant is done. Various technologies have been developed in last 30−40 years to tackle this problem utilizing sorbents,4 membrane,5 algae based separation,6 cryogenic separation,7 chemical looping,8 and hydrate based separation.9 At present, an absorption system is the most commercial technology for CO2 capture all over the world. The solvents used for absorption systems are basically classified into organic and inorganic substances and ionic salt liquids. The organic solvent includes generally primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Some organic absorbents for CO2 capture utilized so far are monoethanolamine (MEA),10 diethanolamine (DEA),11 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP),12 2-amino-2methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD),13 diglycolamine (DGA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), triethylamine (TEA), N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA),14 PZ,15 amino-ethylethanolamine (AEEA), etc. Along with these, various inorganic absorbents like NaOH,16 ammonia,17 Cao/Ca(OH)2,18 promoted carbonates,19 strontium hydroxide,20 TSP,21 etc. are also used. A recent advancement in CO2 treating technology is the application of blended sorbents, which offer enhanced absorption capacity, absorption rate, and reduced solvent regeneration energy. © 2014 American Chemical Society

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Materials. The TSP (RFCL Ltd., New Delhi, India) of minimum purity 98 % and PZ (SD Fine - Chem Limited, Mumbai) of minimum purity 98 % have been used in experiment. The other chemicals likes NaOH, HCl and BaCl2 used for experimentation were of analytical reagent grade, and their purities are above 99 %. The distilled water is used in the experiment to prepare absorbent solution of (TSP + PZ) blend. The density of the TSP is 1620 kg·m−3. A gas cylinder having composition of 20 % CO2 with 80 % N2 and another gas cylinder of 99.99 % pure N2 were mixed in a mixing column to achieve the desired initial composition of CO2 in the gas stream. The constant-temperature water bath (CE 404, Narang Scientific Works Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India) having temperature range (273 to 473) K with an accuracy of ± 0.1 K was used to fix the predetermined absorbent temperature. Apparatus and Procedure. The CO2 capture into the aqueous blend of (TSP + PZ) was determined in a bubbling absorber. The detailing of schematic diagram of the apparatus used and the procedure adapted were pictured and described in our earlier communication.24 The bubbling absorber is basically a borosilicate glass column containing an absorbent solution of (TSP+PZ) blend which was placed into the constanttemperature water bath and the constant temperature water bath was set to maintain a fixed temperature. The gas stream with fixed concentration of CO2 was passed through absorbent solution inside the bubbling absorber. After a regular interval of 30 min, the outlet gas stream was analyzed for CO 2 concentration in the gas, and this procedure was repeated until the equilibrium was reached by confirming the same concentration of CO2 in both inlet and outlet gas stream. The CO2 capture in the liquid sample at equilibrium was measured by the most reliable and promising standard titration method with 0.6 mol % of HCl solution using phenolphthalein as indicator followed by methyl orange indicator until to reach the end point.21 Titration of two more aliquot samples was

performed to check the reproducibility of data and it was within 0.5 %. The experimental conditions used in this work are shown in Table 1.

CO2 uptake which shows that the blend becomes more effective with addition of TSP. To ascertain the effect of total absorbent concentration of blend on capture of CO2, experiments were performed at temperature 313 K and partial pressure 15.2 kPa, and the mole ratio of TSP to PZ was taken 0.8 in total amine concentration of (TSP + PZ) blend. The equilibrium CO2 capture observation was plotted in Figure 2. A graphical plot is drawn between the amount of total absorbent concentration of blend and CO2 capture. From Figure 2 it is observed that there is a decrease in CO2 capture with the increase in absorbent concentration in blend. The total absorbent concentration effects diminish at high concentrations of absorbent. To the study of effect of CO2 partial pressure in the inlet gas stream, the equilibrium CO2 capture was measured at 313 K temperature and the inlet CO2 partial pressure was taken from (9.96 to 20.28) kPa. The inlet CO2 partial pressure plays an important role in CO2 capture. For study the effect of inlet CO2 partial pressure, the mole ratio of TSP to PZ in the blend was taken from 0.5 to 2.5 in 2 mol·kg−1 total absorbent concentration of (TSP + PZ) blend. The graphical representation of CO2 capture in regard to the effect of CO2 partial pressure in inlet gas stream has been shown in Figure 3. It is clear from Figure 3 that the CO2 capture at equilibrium increases with increasing the inlet CO2 partial pressure and also same behavior is contracting with increase in mole ratio of TSP to PZ in the blend. To study the effect of temperature on performance of (TSP +PZ) blend, CO2 uptake capacity was ascertained in the

PZ in the blend. The study was done at a constant inlet partial pressure of CO2 of 15.2 kPa. As seen in Figure 4, the CO2 capture at equilibrium does not decrease significantly with increase in temperature. It was observed that CO2 capture decreases by just 15 % with increase temperature from (303 to 353) K. This shows the high efficiency of (TSP + PZ) blend for CO2 capture even at high temperature. This fact can be utilized in CO2 capture from thermal power plants at an average thermal power plant stack gas temperature of 333 K and at this temperature the CO2 uptake comes to be equal to 0.685 mol of CO2/mol of aqueous blend which is quite high as compared to conventional absorbents. A lot of blends have been worked out for CO2 capture measurement available in the literature. Some important blends containing influencing parameters such as partial pressure of CO2, temperature, and total absorbent concentration of blend consisting of either TSP or PZ in the blend are compared between the published work and present work. It would be useful to compare experimental data of equilibrium CO2 capture of present study with the results of previous studies. For the comparison purpose from the previous work, blends consisting either TSP or PZ as one component had been considered. The comparisons of CO2 capture of (TSP+PZ) blend with other blends available in the literature are taken at absorbent concentration of 1−3 mol.kg−1. All data used for comparison are given in Table 6, and the pictorial representation of CO2 capture comparisons are shown in the Figures 5 and 6. The results showed that the present (TSP +PZ) blend can be efficiently used for CO2 capture from gas stream.

CONCLUSIONS In this work, the CO2 capture by an aqueous blend of (TSP + PZ) has been experimentally studied to generate new CO2 capacity data at total blend concentrations in the range (1.0 to 3.0) mol·kg−1, temperature range from (303 to 353) K, and CO2 partial pressures from (9.96 to 20.28) kPa using a bubbling absorber. On the basis of the experimental study, the capture of CO2 at equilibrium increases with increasing inlet CO2 partial pressure but decreases as temperature increases. The results show that the capture of CO2 in the present (TSP + PZ) blend is larger than those available in literature. Therefore, the present blend may become a suitable and feasible absorbent for removal of CO2.
