Based on acetone-H2O system, the influence of the gas-liquid distribution inducer on the mass transfer coefficient in the rotating packed bed with the stainless steel packing was investigated. Furthermore, the absorption performance was also obtained under the experimental condition of the rotational speed of 630 rpm, the gas flow rate of 2 m3/h and the liquid flow rate of 100 L/h in the rotating packed bed with different types and different installation ways of the distribution inducer. The experimental results showed that the volumetric mass transfer coefficient Kyα per unit contact length of gas-liquid was increased by 8.6% for the forward-curved fixed blade, by 19.8% for the backward-curved rotor blade and by 33.2% with the combination of the straight radial rotor blade and the backward-curved fixed blade, respectively. Furthermore, when the gas flow rate was 2.5 m3/h, Kyα per unit contact length of gas-liquid was increased by 2.9% for the forward-curved fixed blade, by 25.3% for the backward-curved rotor blade, by 42.7% for the combination of the straight radial rotor blade and the backward-curved fixed blade, respectively. The results indicated that the distribution inducer play an important role on the improvement of the mass transfer coefficient in acetone-H2O system.

Based on CO2-NaOH system, the absorption performances and the mass transfer of the rotating packed bed with the three different types of the gas-liquid distribution inducer were investigated. The experimental results showed that the structure of the gas-liquid distribution inducer have an important effect on the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and the absorptivity of CO2. Due to the enhancement of the countercurrent contact between the liquid phase and the gas phase from the installation of the distribution inducer, an increasement of the volumetric mass transfer coefficient and a higher absorptivity of CO2 could be obtained than those of the experiment in PRB without any inducers. Among the distribution inducers, the combination of the liquid distribution inducer of Type-B and the gas distribution inducer of Type-A could give a better volumetric mass transfer coefficient and a higher absorptivity of CO2, which were 27.84×10-3 s-1 and 80.00%, respectively.

Abstract- One of the most widely used processes for CO2 gas removal is Absorption. Carbon dioxide is the result of the fuel combustion process which of the hazardous gases. The aim of this research is to determine the total mass transfer coefficient and analyze the effect of the absorbent flow rate of the absorbent solution with the promoter and the gas flow rate to the total mass transfer coefficient value. The variables consisted of liquid flow rate: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 liter/min, gas flow rate: 15, 25, 30, 40, 50 liter/min and MSG concentration: 0%, 1%, 3% and 5% by weight. The solution of Pottasium Carbonate as absorbent with MSG promoter is flowed through top column and CO2 gas flowed from bottom packed column. Liquids were analyzed by titration and the gas output was analyzed by GC. From this research, it is found that the flow rate of gas and the liquid flow rate is directly proportional to the value of KGa. The liquid flow rate variable 5 liters / minute, gas flow rate 15 l / min obtained value of KGa 11,1102 at concentration of MSG 5%. Keywords:  Absorption, CO2,  K2CO3, MSG.

An integrated electromigration membrane absorption method has been proposed for the separation of NO from simulated mixed gas. The experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of discharge voltage, gas flow rate, inlet concentrations, and absorbents on the NO separation efficiency and total mass transfer coefficient in the integrated electromigration membrane reactor. The experimental results demonstrated that the NO separation efficiency and total mass transfer coefficient increased with the increase in the applied discharge voltage of the integrated electromigration membrane reactor. Regardless of discharge or not, the separation efficiency of NO continuously decreased with the increase in the gas flow rate and inlet concentration of NO in the experimental process. The total mass transfer coefficient of NO increased first and then decreased with an increase in the gas flow rate, while it decreased with an increase in NO inlet concentration. Compared with the membrane absorption without discharge voltage under the condition tested, at a discharge voltage of 18kV, the NO separation efficiency and the total mass transfer coefficient increased by 48.7% and 9.7 times, respectively.

The Effectiveness-Number of Transfer Unit method (ε-NTU method) was applied to determine the overall mass transfer coefficient, KLa, of operating gas-liquid absorbers treating Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). This method requires the knowledge of the operating conditions (gas flow rate, QG; liquid flow rate, QL; scrubber volume V), the measurement of gaseous concentrations at the inlet, CGin, and at the outlet, CGout, of the contactor (in order to determine the effectiveness of the absorber ε) and the calculation of the Henry coefficient of the VOC between the gas and the liquid phases (HVOC). Coupled with the “equivalent absorption capacity” concept, the ε-NTU method was used to determine KLa of absorbers contacting a gas and a mixture of water and a Non Aqueous Phase, successfully. The method, validated from literature data for configurations countercurrent scrubbers and stirred tank reactors, could be used to simply determine the overall mass transfer coefficient of systems for which the standard KLa determination methods still remain non-reliable or inaccurate (viscous solvents, mixture of immiscible liquids, fermentation broths…).

In order to improve the efficiency of ozone mass transfer in liquid phase, the method enhanced by electric field was put forward. The effect on ozone mass transfer was investigated from voltage, electrode spacing and gas flow rate. The result showed that ozone concentration in water and the total mass transfer coefficient increased correspondingly with the increase of the voltage, and ozone concentration in water and the total mass transfer coefficient increased correspondingly with increase of the electrode spacing in the range from 1 to 3 cm, and ozone concentration in water increased correspondingly with increase of the gas flow rate, but the total mass transfer coefficient reduced correspondingly.

Mixtures of different types of amine solution Monoethanolamine, Diethanolamine, and Triethanolamine were experimentally used to investigate the overall mass transfer coefficient (KGa) at different operating parameters. The experiments were made in a packed bed reactor (PBR) with 75 cm in high and10 cm inside diameter as a gas-liquid contactor at 25℃ and atmospheric pressure, using a simulation gaseous mixture (air, carbon dioxide)  with recycle stream (semi-continuous process). Experimental design process Taguchi was employed. Four factors and three levels were chosen and exploded using L9 (3 ^4) orthogonal array design. These parameters for semi-continuous  process were namely: gas flow rate 5,10,and 15 L/min ,airflow rate80,90,and 100 L/h, liquid flow rate 400,450,and 500 mL/min  and time absorption time  30,45,and 60min . A Shimadzu GC-8A Gas Chromatograph with a thermal conductivity detector was used to measure the CO2 concentration absorbed in aqueous blended solution. The maximum value for CO2 loading was 8.622 (mol CO2/mol amine) at 15 L/min gas flow and 450 mL/min liquid flow and 100 L/h airflow for 60 min from absorption time. The results showed that the max value of KGa is 0.048 S-1.

The effect of flow rate of ozone-containing gas and pH on the mass transfer coefficient of ozone through water in a bubble column reactor has been studied. Ozone was generated from air using a corona discharge ozone generator. The flow rate of air was varied from 2 to 5 L min-1, while pH was varied from 4 to 10. The gas containing ozone was bubbled to the reactor containing 1.5 L of 2% KI solution. The temperature was set at 28±1ºC. The concentration of ozone was determined using titrimetric method every 5 minutes. The results show that the concentration of ozone increases with time, and it reaches a steady-state concentration after 30 minutes of ozonation. The gas flow rate and pH apparently affect both the concentration and the kLa. The highest kLa of 2.1 X 10-2 s-1 is obtained at pH 4 with a gas flow rate of 4 L min-1.
