Abstract

The organic amine method is one of the most effective CO2 capturing techniques for coal-fired flue gas.Aspen plus was used to simulate the process of flue gas CO2 capture by ethanolamine(MEA).Firstly,separate absorption tower and regeneration tower were simulated,and then the comprehensive absorption-desorption simulation was carried out based on the convergence of the separate system model.The flue gas flow rate was 8.22 m3/min and the molar fraction of CO2 was 0.18,the flow rate of MEA was 2 311.3 kg/h and the molar fraction of MEA was 0.12.The simulation results of CO2 capture by MEA were as follows: the CO2 removal rate was 69.3%,the CO2 mole fraction in the purifing gas was 5.33×10-2,the CO2 mole fraction of regeneration tower top was 0.956,which basically met the design requirements,providing a basis for further research on CO2 absorption by amine method.
