Chemisorption of CO ₂ in a gas–liquid vortex reactor: An interphase mass transfer efficiency assessment

To develop cost-effective CO2 capture technology process intensification will play a vital role. In this work, the capabilities of gas–liquid vortex reactor (GLVR) as novel equipment are evaluated by studying its interphase mass transfer parameters to build up fundamentals for future application example, capture. The NaOH-CO2 chemisorption system and Danckwerts' model applied obtain effective interfacial area liquid-side coefficient. Results show that contact in GLVR is capable both generating large small volume creating region with high-energy dissipation improve transfer. A comparison volumetric coefficients data reported literature conventional intensified types confirms superior efficiency and, most importantly, favorable energetic GLVR.
