[Carbon dioxide SHF-desorption from liquid regenerated sorbent in a physicochemical human life support system]
Abstract:
Desorption of carbon dioxide from monoethanol ethylene diamine solution with the use of SHF was compared to the thermal technology both in static condition and with a fixed absorbent expenditure. In the static condition, CO2 evacuation by SHF was more complete, without precipitation, and within a short interaction time. With absorbent expenditure and CO2 production rate permanent, SHF desorption occurred at a lower temperature and, therefore, lower absorbed power than the conventional thermal process. Testing demonstrated efficiency of the non-inertial volumetric SHF heating in regeneration of the liquid absorbent charged in physicochemical life support systems for different pressurized habitats.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

Forms of CO2 Transport
1. Dissolved in plasma: A small percentage (7-10%) of CO2 is transported and dissolved directly in the plasma.
2. Carbaminohemoglobin: Just over 20% of CO2 is chemically bound to...
