The effects of several commonly used commercial catalysts,HZSM-5-25,HZSM-5-50,γ-Al2O3 and SiO2,on the regeneration of MEA (monoethanolamine) solution and MEA+MDEA (N-Methyldiethanolamine MINE) mixed amine aqueous solution were investigated in a batch reactor. The results show that HZSM-5-25 has the best catalytic effect on the regeneration process of MEA aqueous solution,which increases the instantaneous maximum CO2 desorption rate of the MEA-rich solution by about 8.25% and the average desorption rate by about 5.24%;For MEA+MDEA mixed amine absorbent,the base-catalyzed hydration mechanism of tertiary amine MDEA reacting with CO2 brought a large amount of HCO-3 to the reaction system,which accelerates the release of CO2 to a large extent,and results in the catalytic effect of HZSM-5-25 catalyst on the regeneration process of the mixed amine solution being significantly lower than that on single MEA solution,with an increase of 4.91% in the instantaneous maximum desorption rate.
