The obtaining of accurate experimental flux requires reliable experimental kinetics data and the effective transport area in the CO2 capture process by ionic liquids. Research advances in the three key scientific problems are reviewed systematically and further work is analyzed. Finally, perspectives of non-equilibrium thermodynamic research of the kinetics of CO2 capture by ionic liquids are proposed.展开更多

However, it is difficult to describe the complex interfacial transport behavior by the traditional mass transfer model. In this paper, we describe an interfacial mass transfer model based on linear non-equilibrium thermodynamics for the analysis of the rate of interfacial transport. The interfacial transfer process rate J depends on the interface mass transfer coefficient K, interfacial area A and chemical potential gradient at the interface. Potassium compounds were selected as model systems. A model based on linear non-equilibrium thermo-dynamics was established in order to describe and predict the transport rate at the solid-solution interface. Together with accurate experimental kinetic data for potassium ions obtained using ion-selective electrodes, a general model which can be used to describe the dissolution rate was established and used to analyze ways of improving the process rate.展开更多

In this work, the mass transfer of aqueous CO2 in brines has been investigated by means of a chemi- cal potential gradient model based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics in which the statistical associating fluid theory equa- tion of state was used to calculate the fugacity coefficient of CO2 in brine. The investigation shows that the interracial concen- tration of aqueous CO2 and the corresponding density both increase with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature; the effective diffusion coefficients decrease initially and then increase with increasing pressure; and the density of the CO2-disolved brines increases with decreasing CO2 pressure in the CO2 dissolution process. The aqueous CO2 concentration profiles obtained by the chemical potential gradient model are considerably different from those obtained by the concentration gradient model, which shows the importance of considering non-ideality, especially when the pressure is high.展开更多
