Abstract

In the present work, CO2 desorption (stripping) from diethanolamine (DEA) solution using polyvinylidene fluoride hollow fiber membrane contactor is theoretically investigated. A comprehensive two dimensional mathematical model is developed to evaluate the membrane wettability when DEA solution is used at different operating conditions such as sweeping gas flow rate, initial CO2 loading and liquid phase temperature. In addition, the impact of flow rate of liquid phase on the CO2 stripping performance was theoretically investigated. The simulated results were compared with the experimental data obtained from literature. The results revealed that the PVDF membrane was suffered from wetting at studied operating conditions.
