Abstract2-(Diethylamino)ethanol (DEEA) and 3-(Methylamino) propylamine (MAPA) in combination may represent a promising absorbent system for CO 2 capture due to high CO 2 loading capacity, high equilibrium temperature sensitivity, low energy requirement for regeneration and relatively high reaction rate.Three different systems: DEEA-CO 2 -H 2 O; MAPA-CO 2 -H 2 O and DEEA-MAPA-CO 2 -H 2 O were studied quantitatively by NMR spectroscopy and the data are reported in the present work. The main products quantified for these systems are: carbonate-bicarbonate for the DEEA-CO 2 -H 2 O system; primary, secondary carbamate, dicarbamate for the MAPA-CO 2 -H 2 O system, and primary/ secondary carbamate, dicarbamate, carbonate/bicarbonate in blended DEEA-MAPA-CO 2 -H 2 O. The speciation data of the three systems were measured and reported in the present work. The blended system of 5M DEEA-2M MAPA can form two liquid phases after being loaded with CO 2 and both phases were analyzed quantitatively by NMR spectroscopy. The experimental data shows that the lower phase is rich in CO 2 and MAPA while the upper phase was lean in CO 2 and rich in DEEA. The ratio DEEA-MAPA in the lower phase increases with increasing partial pressure whereas for the upper phase the opposite is true.
Fifteen bicarbonate forming solvents were tested and compared to 30 mass% MEA using a screening apparatus. Additionally the pKa values of each of the solvents at room temperature were measured. The overall evaluation was based on screening tests allowing estimation of cyclic capacity, pKa measurements and operative behavior of the system (foaming, high viscosity, precipitation). Based on the overall evaluation, two solvents, 2-PPE and 1-(2HE)PRLD, were chosen for further characterization. The solvent concentration was optimized using the screening setup. The optimal solvent concentrations found were 50 mass% 2-PPE, and 40 mass% 1-(2HE)PRLD.
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.
