Study On The Activity Of New Amine Based Absorbents For Co2 Absorption From Flue Gases, João F. Gomes Jan 2010

Study On The Activity Of New Amine Based Absorbents For Co2 Absorption From Flue Gases, João F. Gomes

João F Gomes

The capture of CO2 from flue gases can be done by chemical absorption with aqueous amine solutions like MEA (monoethanolamine). Although this is a proven process, there are still operational problems to overcome [1], namely those resulting from solvent degradation, precipitation, corrosion and foaming. Also, the absorption capacity of the most current amines must be improved in order to obtain a more profitable operation. It has been shown previously that relationships exist between the amine structure and the activity/capacity for CO2 absorption. The introduction of amine substituents at the α-carbon creates a carbamate instability, which causes the hydrolysis to go …

Modelado Matemático En Ingeniería, Francisco J. Valdes-Parada Oct 2008

Modelado Matemático En Ingeniería, Francisco J. Valdes-Parada

Francisco J. Valdes-Parada

En esta plática se discute de una manera sencilla la importancia que tiene el modelado matemático en Ingeniería. Para ello, se presenta una visión personal sobre el papel que juegan asignaturas como fenómenos de transporte y termodinámica en la formación de licenciatura y posgrado en Ingeniería. Más aún, con el objetivo de ilustrar la importancia de los cambios de escala que frecuentemente aparecen en Ingeniería, se analiza el caso del flujo de un soluto a través de tubos capilares. De esta manera, se tiene un sistema donde a escala microscópica son relevantes la difusión (radial y axial) y convección (axial) …
