Enhancement of CO_2 Gas Absorption by utilizing Zeolite Particle with Mist Formation

Abstract

High efficiency of gas absorption may be one of the important techniques for protection of global environment. We have proposed the new method for Carbon Dioxide gas absorption, that is the condensate film method by utilizing condensation process and the solution condensate method. In present investigation, a new concept of the enhancement of gas absorption by utilizing Zeolite particles with mist formation was proposed, and its proof experiment was conducted with regard to the gas absorption rate in vertical cooling tube. Comparing the present proposed method with falling liquid film method and our past-proposed methods, the effectiveness of the gas absorption through the Zeolite particle and mist droplets was clarified.
