The Regeneration of Ammonia Solution by Calcium Hydroxide for Carbon Dioxide Absorption from the Flue Gas The Global Environmental Engineers, 2015, 2, 23-28 23 The Regeneration of Ammonia Solution by Calcium Hydroxide for Carbon Dioxide Absorption from the Flue Gas Hsin Ta Hsueh1, Tsung Wen Chien1, Tzu Hsing Ko2, Teng Te Huang1 and Hsin Chu1,* 1Department of Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Environment Research Laboratories, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan 701, Republic of China 2Department of Tourism Affairs, and Dean of Academic Affairs, Tzu-Hui Institute of Technology, Pingtung 926, Taiwan Abstract: The tests of this study were conducted by the semi-continuous flow experiments to absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in a bench-scale spraying column reactor. The absorption capacity and the regeneration efficiency of the absorbed ammonia (NH3) solution were determined. In this study, the maximum regeneration efficiency is 68.4% as the concentration of NH3 solution is 1% and the ratio of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and CO2 is 1 as well. Furthermore, the absorption capacity of the NH3 solution decreases from 1.67 to 0.27 kg-CO2/kg-NH3 after regenerating four times due to the 30-38% loss each time. Regarding the regeneration kinetics between absorbed products and Ca(OH)2, the comparative degree of covered Ca(OH)2 during the reaction was recognized after fitting by a surface coverage model. Finally, the ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) reduced by Ca(OH)2 to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) solid and NH3 solution in the regeneration reactions was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) pictures and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses. Although the NH3 solution can be regenerated by Ca(OH)2 effectively in this study, the overall benefit of this process should be estimated further in the energy aspect. Keywords: Carbon dioxide, absorption, regeneration, ammonium solution, calcium hydroxide. 1. INTRODUCTION regeneration of reacted ammonia solution is one of important topics for promoting cost-down and avoiding Chemical absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) by secondary pollutions. The regeneration reactions in this ammonia (NH3) solution is proven as an effective study were conducted as equation from (3) and (5) method for CO2 elimination [1, 2]. Wang et al.

Furthermore, the amounts of calcium ammonia volatilizes from absorption solution in the hydroxide added into the solutions increase as the duration of absorption and regeneration tests. Except ammonium concentration increases from 1% to 5% if the ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate, Ca(OH)2/CO2 ratio is the same, the mask effect also the reaction between CO2 and ammonium solutions becomes more significant due to the limitation of mass also may produce ammonium carbamate transfer.

The swelling of some metal form resins in aqueous ethylenediamine and propylenediamine solutions has been studied for comparison. It was found that the alkali metal form resins did not show any preference for ammonia but other transition metal form resins did show such preference for ammonia and for the other bases studied. The absorption of base by such resins was quantitative and hence it v/as possible to construct the formation curves for the ammine and amine complexes and to derive stability con­ stants by Bjerrum!s half-step method, for the amine complexes formed in the resins.

  • Microstructural and Compressive Strength Analysis for Cement Mortar with Industrial Waste Materials
    Available online at www.CivileJournal.org Civil Engineering Journal Vol. 6, No. 5, May, 2020 Microstructural and Compressive Strength Analysis for Cement Mortar with Industrial Waste Materials Zahraa Fakhri Jawad a, Rusul Jaber Ghayyib a, Awham Jumah Salman a* a Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University, Najaf, Kufa, Iraq. Received 06 December 2019; Accepted 02 March 2020 Abstract Cement production uses large quantities of natural resources and contributes to the release of CO2. In order to treat the environmental effects related to cement manufacturing, there is a need to improve alternative binders to make concrete. Accordingly, extensive study is ongoing into the utilization of cement replacements, using many waste materials and industrial. This paper introduces the results of experimental investigations upon the mortar study with the partial cement replacement. Fly ash, silica fume and glass powder were used as a partial replacement, and cement was replaced by 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 3% and 5% of each replacement by the weight. Compressive strength test was conducted upon specimens at the age of 7 and 28 days. Microstructural characteristic of the modified mortar was done through the scanning electron microscope (SEM) vision, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out for mixes with different replacements. The tests results were compared with the control mix. The results manifested that all replacements present the development of strength; this improvement was less in the early ages and raised at the higher ages in comparison with the control specimens. Microstructural analysis showed the formation of hydration compounds in mortar paste for each replacement. This study concluded that the strength significantly improved by adding 5% of silica fume compared with fly ash and glass powder.

The leaching of the mentioned ions from silica gel waste to the liquid medium was achieved by the application of different techniques: (1) leaching under static conditions; (2) leaching under dynamic conditions by the use of continuous liquid medium flow; and (3) leaching in cycles under dynamic conditions. It was determined that the efficiency of the fluoride removal from this waste depends on the w/s ratio, the leaching conditions, and the additives used. It was proven that it is possible to reduce the concentration of fluorine ions from 10% to <5% by changing the treatment conditions and by adding alkaline compounds. The silica gel obtained after the leaching is a promising silicon dioxide source.

Received 12 November 2013, accepted 16 February 2015 doi:10.3151/jact.13.147 Abstract Production of cement is ranking 3rd in causes of man-made carbon dioxide emissions world-wide. Thus, in order to make concrete more sustainable one may work along one or more of the following routes; 1) Replacing cement in con- crete with larger amounts of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) than usual, 2) Replacing cement in concrete with combinations of SCMs leading to synergic reactions enhancing strength, 3) Producing leaner concrete with less cement per cubic meter utilizing plasticizers and 4) Making concrete with local aggregate susceptible to alkali silica reaction (ASR) by using cement replacements, thus avoiding long transport of non-reactive aggregate. 1 Introduction SCMs, also uncommon ones like calcined marl 2. Replacing cement in concrete with combinations of The cement industry world-wide is calculated to bring SCMs leading to synergic reactions enhancing about 5-8% of the total global anthropogenic carbon strength dioxide (CO2) emissions. The general estimate is about 3.

  • Synthesis and Acidity of [Co(NH3)5H2O](NO3)3
    Synthesis of a Cobalt Complex Lab #6, Chem 36 Spring 2009 Introduction cobalt(II) to cobalt(III). The procedure used here is typical, with hydrogen peroxide serving as the The most extensively studied class of reagent (called an "oxidizing agent" for its ability octahedral transition metal compounds are to remove an electron) and ammonia as the cobalt(III) complexes in which ammonia (or amine. Here is the stoichiometric net reaction for other neutral molecules, closely related to this synthesis: ammonia, called amines) occupy some or all of the six coordination positions. The (III) in the 2 HNO3 + 2 [Co(H2O)6] [NO3]2(s) + H2O2 + 10 name is a way of indicating the +3 oxidation NH3 → 2 [Co(NH3)5(H2O)] [NO3]3(s) + 12 H2O state of the Co3+ ion. These complexes played a decisive role in early formulations of the The oxidation-reduction half-reactions consist structure of transition metal compounds and they of the oxidation of cobalt (II) to cobalt (III) and continue to be important model systems for the reduction of the hydrogen peroxide: contemporary research into the properties of complex ions. 2 Co+2 → 2 Co+3 + 2 e- + - The first and simplest cobalt ammine complex 2 H + H2O2 + 2 e 2 H2O 3+ → ion, [Co(NH3)6] , was prepared in 1798. Alfred Werner, a German chemist, studied the cobalt The purpose of each reagent in the mixture is ammines extensively in the late 19th and early described below. 20th centuries. He correctly interpreted his observations as requiring an octahedral geometry About the Reagents of the ligands about the metal.
