 03. (20 points). An absorption/stripping process is operating at constant temperature

03. (20 points). An absorption/stripping process is operating at constant temperature and atmospheric pressure. This system is a proposed addition to a coal fired power plant in an attempt to minimize the amount of CO2 released by the power plant. The process has a 90% recovery rate of CO2 and it utilizes a 32.5 weight% monoethanolamine solution as the lean amine absorbent in the system. The absorption column used in the process has a loading of 0.17 (mol CO2/mol MEA). Additional information are given below: Gas Stream Actual Volumetric Streams Variable Flow-rate (m/min) [CO2] % T(K) P(atm) Flue Gas n feed 22 ? 324.25 2 NTG ? ? 324.25 2 ncc ? ? 324.25 2 Treated Gas Concentrated CO2 Liquid Stream Liquid Amine MEA Density (Ibm/gal) 8.69 Flow rate (gal/min) 14.5 MMEA(g/mol) [MEA] 61 32.50% (a) Determine the volumetric flow rate of ncc (concentrated CO2).
