DRAW THE CHART SHOWING THE EQUILIBRIUM DATA FOR THE ABSORPTION OF CO2
IN WATER AND ETHANOLAMINE SOLUTION

Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas which can induce the global warming with increasing emission
by humanactivity.

To reduce carbon dioxide emission has become aworldwide problem.

The fossil fuel combustion is the largest

sources of man-made carbon dioxide. Therefore, the develop-ment of technology is necessary in order
to remove and recover CO2 from these emission sources.
Chemical absorption is the most widely used method. Paul and Thomas1 studied
the absorption of CO2 intoaqueous
potassium salt of proline, their experimental results was used
to interpret the kinetics of the reaction of CO2 with potassiumsalt of proline. Mortaheb et al.2 have
investigated the absor-ption of CO2 in water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, the results show that the
absorption rate and capacity for monoethanolamine emulsion is higher compared to those for
diethanolamine emulsion.

A series of tests were conducted by Liu et al.3,4 for the absorption of carbon dioxide in aqueous
ammonia. In their further work, the kinetics and mass transfer of CO2 absorption into aqueous ammonia
were also investigated. Portugal et al.5 investigated the absorption of carbon dioxide in aqueous solution
of potassium threonate. Derks et al.6 have been studied the absorption of carbon dioxide into aqueous
piperazine (PZ) solutions and given the kinetics of the reaction between CO2 and piperazine in aqueous
solution.
