temperature profile over the column as a function of column height. The calculation<br />

is term<strong>in</strong>ated when the CO2 concentration of the gas <strong>in</strong> the calculationelement,<br />

G(n), is the same as the concentration of CO2 <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>com<strong>in</strong>g gas<br />

stream, G1.<br />

A simple k<strong>in</strong>etic model was used to describe the reactions of CO2 with MDEA<br />

and PZ, see equation D and E.<br />

ܥܱ ଶ + ܼܲ ∙ ܪ ଶܱ ↔ ܼܲܪ ା + ܪܥܱ ଷ ି Eq. D<br />

ܥܱ ଶ + ܯ ܦܧܣ ∙ ܪ ଶܱ ↔ ܯ ܦܧܣܪ ା + ܪܥܱ ଷ ି Eq. E<br />

The model is a reduced version of that developed by Zhang et al., [77], and consists<br />

of two reactions describ<strong>in</strong>g the reaction of CO2 with PZ and MDEA respectively.<br />

The values for the equilibrium (ki) and rate constants (Ki) for these reactions<br />

were taken from the literature and the relationships are given by equations F-I, [78,<br />

79].<br />
