Flue gas treatment with membrane gas absorption
conference paper
Membrane gas absorption is a new, efficient and flexible way to carry out gas-liquid contacting operations with hollow fibre membranes. Advantages of gas absorption membranes over conventional G-L contactors are: -High specific surface area and rapid mass transfer resulting in very compact and low weight equipment; -Gas and liquid flow are independent: operation over a wide range of liquid and gas flow rates is possible; -No entrainment, flooding or channelling; -No foaming. Apart from flue gas desulphurisation also CO2, H2S, NH3, HCl, O3, Hg and many other components can be removed very effciently from gas streams wilh membrane gas absorption. Several applications are at the point of market introduction. New developments are focused on high pressure and/or high temperature applications and the regeneration of absorption liquids.
