Abstract

CO2 in industrial gas streams reduces process efficiency, corrodes equipment, and affects product quality. Additionally, CO2 emissions contribute to climate change and global warming. To mitigate these effects, CO2 removal through absorption is essential. Absorption involves contacting a gas mixture with a liquid absorbent to dissolve the gas component. This study examines the effect of CO2 flow rate (V) and NaOH flow rate (L) on CO2 absorption efficiency. The experiment involved preparing 33 liters of 0.1 normal NaOH and 250 milliliters of 0.1 normal HCl, followed by solution standardization using methyl orange. CO2 was introduced through valve V-4 while NaOH was pumped into the absorption column. Samples were taken after steady state was reached, and titration with 0.1 normal HCl determined residual NaOH concentration. Flow rate variations of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 liters per minute were tested. Results align with literature, indicating that as CO2 flow rate increases, NaOH flow rate also rises. However, the L/V ratio and absorbed CO2 amount decrease due to reduced contact time, lowering absorption efficiency. This study highlights the importance of optimizing flow rates to enhance CO2 capture.

Abstract

Corrosion significantly impacts public safety and the economy, causing substantial financial losses, infrastructure damage, and hazardous incidents across various industries. Researchers investigated the effects of pH, current density, and corrosion inhibitors (potassium chromate and potassium nitrate) on iron corrosion by measuring weight loss of iron samples immersed in sulfuric acid over time. The addition of inhibitors showed that KNO3 was more effective in reducing the corrosion rate, with values of 4.992068, 3.744051, 2.736034, 1.728017, and 0.608008 mils per year, compared to K2CrO4, which resulted in 9.728132, 7.296099, 5.472066, 3.648033, and 1.216017 mils per year. Corrosion rate increased as pH decreased, with Fe showing corrosion at pH 6.21, 5.18, 4.26, 3.85, and 3.22. The relationship between current density and corrosion rate was found to be proportional, with voltage values of 1.31, 2.24, 3.16, 5.11, and 7.1 amperes per square meter (A/m^2). This study confirms that inhibitor type, acidity (pH), and current density significantly influence corrosion behavior, where increasing pH and current density can accelerate corrosion, and potassium nitrate (KNO3) demonstrates superior corrosion inhibition compared to potassium chromate (K2CrO4).
