In this work, characterization and kinetics of CO2 absorption in potassium carbonate (K2CO3) solution promoted by diethylenetriamine (DETA) were investigated. Kinetics measurements were performed using a stirred cell reactor in the temperature range of 303.15–323.15 K and total concentration up to 2.5 kmol m−3. The density, viscosity, physical solubility, CO2 diffusivity and absorption rate of CO2 in the solution were determined. The reaction kinetics between CO2 and K2CO3 + DETA solution were examined. Pseudo-first order kinetic constants were also predicted by zwitterion mechanism. It was revealed that the addition of small amounts of DETA to K2CO3 results in a significant enhancement in CO2 absorption rate. The reaction order and activation energy were found to be 1.6 and 35.6 kJ mol−1, respectively. In terms of reaction rate constant, DETA showed a better performance compared to the other promoters such as MEA, EAE, proline, arginine, taurine, histidine and alanine.

Abstract
In this work, characterization and kinetics of CO2 absorption in potassium carbonate (K2CO3) solution promoted by diethylenetriamine (DETA) were investigated. Kinetics measurements were performed using a stirred cell reactor in the temperature range of 303.15–323.15 K and total concentration up to 2.5 kmol m−3. The density, viscosity, physical solubility, CO2 diffusivity and absorption rate of CO2 in the solution were determined. The reaction kinetics between CO2 and K2CO3 + DETA solution were examined. Pseudo-first order kinetic constants were also predicted by zwitterion mechanism. It was revealed that the addition of small amounts of DETA to K2CO3 results in a significant enhancement in CO2 absorption rate. The reaction order and activation energy were found to be 1.6 and 35.6 kJ mol−1, respectively. In terms of reaction rate constant, DETA showed a better performance compared to the other promoters such as MEA, EAE, proline, arginine, taurine, histidine and alanine.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
