Atmospheric chemistry and environmental impact of the use of amines in carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Abstract: This critical review addresses the atmospheric gas phase and aqueous phase amine chemistry that is relevant to potential emissions from amine-based carbon capture and storage (CCS). The focus is on amine, nitrosamine and nitramine degradation, and nitrosamine and nitramine formation processes. A comparison between the relative importance of the various atmospheric sinks for amines, nitrosamines and nitramines is presented.

“…33 Release associated with their use in CO 2 capture and storage could become more important as this technology becomes more widely adopted. [33][34][35] Although atmospheric concentrations of amines are typically parts per trillion (ppt), one or more orders of magnitude less than NH 3 , amine concentrations near animal husbandry operations can be up to several parts per billion (ppb). [36][37][38][39][40] Amongst over 150 amines that have been identified in the atmosphere, 33 trimethylamine (TMA, (CH 3 ) 3 N) is one of the most abundant.…”

“…62 The lifetimes of alkylamines exposed to ozone in the gas phase usually vary from a few hours to several days. 68 Although oxidized by OH is the dominant degradation path for amines, oxidation by O 3 may also be a degradation path for amines in the atmosphere. For example, the lifetimes of TEA, DEA, TMA, and DMA are in the range of 4.8−278 h under the typical tropospheric ozone concentration (7 × 10 11 molecules cm −3 ).…”

“…The results reported here show that the uncertainty is even greater than previously thought, because extremely low amine emissions-which have substantial anthropogenic sources and have not hitherto been considered by the IPCC-have a large influence on the nucleation of sulphuric acid particles. Moreover, amine scrubbing is likely to become the dominant technology for CO 2 capture from fossil-fuelled power plants, so anthropogenic amine emissions are expected to increase in the future 30 . If amine emissions were to spread into pristine regions of the boundary layer where they could switch on nucleation, substantial increases in regional and global cloud condensation nuclei could occur.…”
