Gas Treating: Absorption Theory and Practice provides anintroduction to the treatment of natural gas, synthesis gas andflue gas, addressing why it is necessary and the challengesinvolved. The book concentrates in particular on theabsorption-desorption process and mass transfer coupled withchemical reaction.
Following a general introduction to gas treatment, the chemistryof CO2, H2S and amine systems is described, and selected topicsfrom physical chemistry with relevance to gas treating arepresented. Thereafter the absorption process is discussed indetail, column hardware is explained and the traditional masstransfer model mechanisms are presented together with mass transfercorrelations. This is followed by the central point of the text inwhich mass transfer is combined with chemical reaction,highlighting the associated possibilities and problems.Experimental techniques, data analysis and modelling are covered,and the book concludes with a discussion on various processelements which are important in the absorption-desorptionprocess, but are often neglected in its treatment. These includeheat exchange, solution management, process flowsheet variations,choice of materials and degradation of absorbents. The text isrounded off with an overview of the current state of research inthis field and a discussion of real-world applications.
This book is a practical introduction to gas treating forpracticing process engineers and chemical engineers working onpurification technologies and gas treatment, in particular, thoseworking on CO2 abatement processes, as well as post-graduatestudents in process engineering, chemical engineering andchemistry.
