A model has been developed to predict the CO2 capacity of amine-based solvent systems as well as the
enthalpy associated with absorption/desorption. This model can be used to accurately predict the behavior of
well-characterized solvent systems under a range of different conditions. Alternatively, the model can be
used to estimate the properties of less well-defined systems as part of an initial rapid screening procedure.
Investigation into the effects of varying amine basicity and degree of carbamate formation indicates that
there is considerable room for improvement on the standard MEA (monoethanolamine) system in terms of
both capture capacity and enthalpy of CO2 desorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
