This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piperazine is a promising second-generation solvent for amine scrubbing in post-combustion CO2 capture. However, the oxidative degradation of PZ can cause environmental problems and economic loss. This work presents the effects of two mitigation methods: carbon treating and N2 sparging, on the PZ oxidation in long-term operations. The species and their respective quantities adsorbed by the activated carbon were tested in a bench-scale device. The carbon was then tested in the High Temperature Oxidation Reactor (HTOR), where the solvent oxidizes at a reasonably fast rate. Pilot plant campaigns were also performed at the UT Austin SRP and the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) and the effects were verified. When dissolved Fe is removed by carbon treating or other methods, available soluble Fe in the system dissolves and replaces the dissolved Fe. Therefore, all available Fe and ligands need to be removed for the mitigation to be effective. The sources of soluble Fe include fly ash and the corrosion of stainless steel, and the ligands are degradation products. All PZ degraded solvents have two absorbance peaks at 320 nm and 538 nm. The 320 nm peak is caused by dissolved metals, especially Fe, complexed by degradation products. The 320 nm peak is related to the amine degradation level and can be used as a simple and efficient method to estimate the amine degradation rate. The pilot plant data suggest that NO2 can oxidize PZ significantly, possibly through radical reactions. 0.01 mmol/kg-hr absorption of NO2 increased the PZ oxidation rate from 1.2 mmol/kg-hr to 2.5 mmol/kg-hr

This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absorption-Based Post-Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of the use of absorbents for post-combustion capture of carbon dioxide. As fossil fuel-based power generation technologies are likely to remain key in the future, at least in the short- and medium-term, carbon capture and storage will be a critical greenhouse gas reduction technique. Post-combustion capture involves the removal of carbon dioxide from flue gases after fuel combustion, meaning that carbon dioxide can then be compressed and cooled to form a safely transportable liquid that can be stored underground. - Provides researchers in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the amine-based methods for carbon dioxide capture from flue gases and related processes - Editors and contributors are well known experts in the field - Presents the first book on this specific topic

Download or read book Oxidation of Piperazine in Post combustion Carbon Capture written by Paul Thomas Nielsen (III) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solvent oxidation in amine scrubbing systems for post-combustion CO2 capture is a significant issue. Piperazine (PZ) is a promising solvent due to its relative stability and performance. PZ oxidation rates and products were thoroughly characterized in the High Temperature Oxidation Reactor (HTOR) bench-scale cyclic degradation apparatus and compared to observed PZ oxidation from campaigns at the UT Austin SRP, CSIRO Tarong, and “Pilot Plant 2” (PP2) pilot-scale facilities. The HTOR simulated solvent conditions cycling between a 40-55 °C absorber and a 120-150 °C stripper. In both the bench and pilot-scale the intermediary degradation products piperazinol, piperazinone, and ethylenediamine were initially the most significant degradation products before reaching steady-state concentrations, with ammonia and formate the most significant final products produced from the decomposition of the intermediates. PZ oxidation increased as the solvent degraded due to the cycling of dissolved iron, aldehydes, and hydroperoxide contaminants, which could be oxidized in the absorber and subsequently oxidize PZ at high temperature. An N2 sparger was used to selectively remove dissolved oxygen (DO) in the HTOR before heating while still allowing for oxidation due to contaminant cycling. Ammonia was correlated to dissolved iron at 0.72 mmol NH3/kg PZ/hr/(mmol/kg Fe) [superscript 0.5]. An additional 0.4 mmol NH3/kg/hr was produced due to direct reaction of PZ with DO regardless of the level of contamination. Dissolved iron was solubility-limited in both the HTOR and pilot plants, but increased as the solvent degraded, resulting in the autocatalytic effect of PZ oxidation. HTOR data was used to model oxidation and solvent management costs for a full-scale amine scrubber. The model matched observed oxidation at SRP and Tarong. Maintaining 0.1 to 0.5 wt % contaminant accumulation optimized amine make-up, solvent reclaiming, and increased energy costs due to changes in solvent viscosity, at a minimum of $2.6/MT CO2 for PZ treating coal flue gas with a thermal reclaimer to remove contaminants. Feed rate and amine recovery in the reclaimer were the most impactful design variables, followed by operating temperature and hold-up in the stripper, prescrubbing of flue gas contaminants SO2 and NO2, and least significantly N2 sparging to remove DO.

Download or read book Thermal Degradation and Oxidation of Aqueous Piperazine for Carbon Dioxide Capture written by Stephanie Anne Freeman and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 1468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absorption-stripping with aqueous, concentrated piperazine (PZ) is a viable retrofit technology for post-combustion CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants. The rate of thermal degradation and oxidation of PZ was investigated over a range of temperature, CO2 loading, and PZ concentration. At 135 to 175 °C, degradation is first order in PZ with an activation energy of 183.5 kJ/mole. At 150 °C, the first order rate constant, k1, for thermal degradation of 8 m PZ with 0.3 mol CO2/mol alkalinity is 6.12 x 10−9 s−1. After 20 weeks of degradation at 165 °C, 74% and 63%, respectively, of the nitrogen and carbon lost in the form of PZ and CO2 was recovered in quantifiable degradation products. N-formylpiperazine, ammonium, and N-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine account for 57% and 45% of nitrogen and carbon lost, respectively. Thermal degradation of PZ likely proceeds through SN2 substitution reactions. In the suspected first step of the mechanism, 1-[2-[(2-aminoethyl) amino]ethyl] PZ is formed from a ring opening SN2 reaction of PZ with HPZ. Formate was found to be generated during thermal degradation from CO2 or CO2-containing molecules. An analysis of k1 values was applied to a variety of amines screened for thermal stability in order to predict a maximum recommended stripper temperature. Morpholine, piperidine, PZ, and PZ derivatives were found to be the most stable with an allowable stripper temperature above 160 °C. Long-chain alkyl amines or alkanolamines such as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine and diethanolamine were found to be the most unstable with an allowable stripper temperature below 120 °C. Iron (Fe2) and stainless steel metals (Fe2+, Ni2+, and Cr3+) were found to be only weak catalysts for oxidation of PZ, while oxidation was rapidly catalyzed by copper (Cu2+). In a system with Fe2+ or SSM, 5 kPa O2 in the inlet flue gas, a 55 °C absorber, and one-third residence time with O2, the maximum loss rate of PZ is expected to 0.23 mol PZ/kg solvent in one year of operation. Under the same conditions but with Cu2+ present, the loss rate of PZ is predicted to be 1.23 mole PZ/kg solvent in one year of operation. Inhibitor A was found to be effective at decreasing PZ loss catalyzed by Cu2+. Ethylenediamine, carboxylate ions, and amides were the only identified oxidation products. Total organic carbon analysis and overall mass balances indicate a large concentration of unidentified oxidation products.

Download or read book Oxidation and Thermal Degradation of Methyldithanolamine piperazine in CO2 Capture written by Frederick Bynum Closmann and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The solvent 7 molal (m) methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)/2 m piperazine (PZ) presents an attractive option to industry standard solvents including monoethanolamine (MEA) for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in coal-fired power plant flue gas scrubbing applications. The solvent was tested under thermal and oxidizing conditions, including temperature cycling in the Integrated Solvent Degradation Apparatus (ISDA), to measure rates of degradation for comparison to other solvents. Unloaded 7 m MDEA/2 m PZ was generally thermally stable up to 150 °C, exhibiting very low loss rates. However, at a loading of 0.25 mol CO2/mol alkalinity, loss rates of 0.17 ± 0.21 and 0.24 ± 0.06 mM/hr, respectively, for MDEA and PZ were measured. No amine loss was observed in the unloaded blend. Thermal degradation was modeled as first-order in [MDEAH], and a universal Ea for amine loss was estimated at 104 kJ/mol. An oxidative degradation model for 7 m MDEA was developed based on the ISDA data. From the model, the rate of amine loss in 7 m MDEA/2 m PZ was estimated at 1.3 X 105 kg/yr, based on a 500 MW power plant and 90% CO2 capture. In terms of amine loss, the solvent can be ranked with other cycled solvents from greatest to least as follows: 7 m MDEA>7 m MDEA/2 m PZ>8 m PZ. Thermal degradation pathways and mechanisms for 7 m MDEA/2 m PZ include SN2 substitution reactions to form diethanolamine (DEA), methylaminoethanol (MAE), 1-methylpiperazine (1-MPZ), and 1,4-dimethylpiperazine (1,4-DMPZ). The formation of the amino acids bicine and hydroxyethyl sarcosine (HES) has been directly tied to the formation of DEA and MAE, respectively, through oxidation. As a result of the construction and operation of the ISDA for cycling of solvents from an oxidative reactor to a thermal reactor, several practical findings related to solvent degradation were made. The ISDA results demonstrated that increasing dissolved oxygen in solvents leaving the absorber will increase the rate of oxidation. A simple N2 gas stripping method was tested and resulted in a reduction to 1/5th the high temperature oxidation rate associated with dissolved oxygen present in the higher temperature regions of an absorber/stripper system. The ISDA experiments also demonstrated the need to minimize entrained gas bubbles in absorber/stripper systems to control oxidation. When the ISDA was modified to intercept entrained gas bubbles, the oxidation rate was reduced 2 to 3X.
