SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Chemical absorption using alkanolamine solution can be significantly enhanced in micro reactors that offer high surface area per unit volume. These micro reactors can offer higher absorption efficiency and substantial reduction in the size of equipment. In the present study, the fluid flow and mass transfer characteristics of CO2 absorption using microchannel technology were studied and an economic analysis was presented to demonstrate the feasibility of using microchannel technology in gas sweetening process.
