Description:
Gas Treating: Absorption Theory and Practice provides an
introduction to the treatment of natural gas, synthesis gas and
flue gas, addressing why it is necessary and the challenges
involved. The book concentrates in particular on the
absorption?desorption process and mass transfer coupled with
chemical reaction.
Following a general introduction to gas treatment, the chemistry
of CO2, H2S and amine systems is described, and selected topics
from physical chemistry with relevance to gas treating are
presented. Thereafter the absorption process is discussed in
detail, column hardware is explained and the traditional mass
transfer model mechanisms are presented together with mass transfer
correlations. This is followed by the central point of the text in
which mass transfer is combined with chemical reaction,
highlighting the associated possibilities and problems.
Experimental techniques, data analysis and modelling are covered,
and the book concludes with a discussion on various process
elements which are important in the absorption?desorption
process, but are often neglected in its treatment. These include
heat exchange, solution management, process flowsheet variations,
choice of materials and degradation of absorbents. The text is
rounded off with an overview of the current state of research in
this field and a discussion of real-world applications.
This book is a practical introduction to gas treating for
practicing process engineers and chemical engineers working on
purification technologies and gas treatment, in particular, those
working on CO2 abatement processes, as well as post-graduate
students in process e
