Sensivity analysis of carbon dioxide desorption from hot potassium carbonate based on the penetration theory

In this work, The combined effects of chemical reaction and mass transfer for desorption of carbon dioxide from promoted hot potassium carbonate solution are conventionally and adequately treated within the framework of the penetration-surface renewal theory. The penetration theory provides an appropriate desorption rate and enhancement factor for chemical desorption. The impact of parameters such promoter concentration, type of promoter and inlet temperature of rich solution on the performance of a stripper have been examined.
