CO 2 removal from flue gases or air is directly proportional to the overall contact area between the solvent and gas flow. Spraying the solvent offers possibilities for large area/volume ratios resulting from the small size of solvent droplets. The overall mass transfer (K G A v) is a crucial indicator of the performance of the system and indicates the overall CO 2 capture rate per unit volume at given working pressure. The maximum capture rate of spray systems considered in this study is 608 kmol/m 3-hr. This study develops an analytical model to predict mass transfer in spray-based systems for CO 2 capture by evaluating K G A v and capture efficiency. Model predictions are validated using two experimental studies for a range of liquid flow rate, inlet solvent loading, different nozzle types, and inlet CO 2 partial pressure. The relative importance of the incorporation of equilibrium partial pressure of CO 2 (P*) into amine with respect to CO 2 partial pressure is also studied. It is found that its effect on K G A v is prominent in high liquid flow rate and low solvent loading regimes where the overall CO 2 capture is high. Finally, the variation of key parameters such as K G A v, total mass transfer coefficient (K G), effective area (A v), solvent loading (α), and mole fraction of CO 2 in the gas stream (X C O 2) along the channel height is studied, which gives insights on optimization of the channel height for specified operating conditions.
