7. MEA
Advantage & Disadvantages
Advantages
S Inexpensive material (1ton of MEA cost $1100)
Disadvantages
S Low carbon dioxide loading capacity
S Equipment corrosion
S High-energy penalty during absorbent regeneration
MEA: Monoethanolamin is the most common material used in
industry to absorb CO2
8. Ionic Liquids
S A new class of compounds that have emerged in the last
twenty years with several applications in chemical and
physical separation.
S ILs are environmentally-friendly alternatives to organic solvent
for liquid/liquid extraction, and separation.
S ILs face a challenge in large-scale industrial applications,
due to complicated synthetic processes and the
expensive raw material chemicals
9. Deep Eutectic Solvents
S deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been recognized as
a cost effective alternative to ILs
S DESs possess several advantages over traditional ILs.,
they can be prepared easily in high purity at low cost.
S In addition, they are non-toxic, have no reactivity with
water and most importantly being biodegradable
10. Objectives
1. Prepare different types of DES
2. Test the solubility of CO2 in these DES
3. Model the CO2 solubility using
Peng-Robinson EoS
12. Experiment Protocol
S The visual cell is cleaned, evacuated using vacuum
pump, and kept at fixed temperature using a circulating
water bath.
S A pre-determined amount of DES is introduced to the cell
using the HPLC pump. CO2 is then introduced to the cell
at a certain pressure.
S The mixture is stirred using the magnetic bar until
equilibrium is achieved.
S The change in the volume of cell is recorded. The mass
of dissolved CO2 is calculated using Benedict-Webb-
Robin equation of state

model
17. : CO2 solubility in CC-based DEs with pressure, ♦:
experimental; ▲: model with fixed k;
□: model with variable k
18. Conclusions
S The solubility of CO2 in ethylene glycol and glycerol
based DESs is much smaller than that in MEA aqueous
solution
S The solubility depended on the type of salt used and on
the salt:HBD molar ratio.
S The modeling results indicated the necessity to adjust the
interaction parameter in order to improve the ability of the
PR EoS to predict the CO2 solubility
