[0028] In the packing for a flue gas carbon dioxide capture absorption tower according to the present utility model, preferably, the support rods 22 are arranged on the outermost circle 211 of the circular ring 21, and the ratio of the diameter of the outermost circle 211 to the height of the support rods 22 is 1:(1.3 - 1.6), preferably 1:(1.4 - 1.6), and most preferably 1:1.5, thereby further increasing the gas-liquid contact area in the packing and further effectively improving the carbon dioxide capture efficiency.

Among them, the principle of improving the efficiency of gas-liquid mass transfer by vibration is that the liquid film attached to the packing will form a small-amplitude irregular water-pattern liquid film under the action of vibration. This water-pattern liquid film has a larger contact area with gas compared to the original liquid film, so that gas-liquid mass transfer is more sufficient. At the same time, vibration will cause micro-turbulence, further enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer. Therefore, it has a higher absorption efficiency and is conducive to more fully and quickly absorbing carbon dioxide gas in flue gas.
