Carbon dioxide chemical absorption by solvents based on diamine and amines blend

Abstract

Present work includes research about the influence of the type of amino group using one or two amine molecules on carbon dioxide chemical absorption using aqueous solutions of alkanolamines and diamines. A comparison of chemical absorption processes using aqueous solutions of two individual diamines (3‐(dimethylamino)propan‐1‐amine and 1,3‐diaminopropane) and a mixture of amines (3‐amino‐1‐propanol and 3‐(dimethylamino)propan‐1‐ol) is reported including absorption rate curves, carbon dioxide loading, reaction mechanism or solvent regeneration to obtain useful information about the quality of each solvent for carbon dioxide separation. In general, amines blend of 3‐amino‐1‐propanol and 3‐dimethylamino‐1‐propanol, have shown a better behavior than their individual amines. Diamines and mainly 3‐dimethylamino propylamine that presents primary and tertiary amine groups in its structure, have led similar results. After these studies, 3‐dimethylamino propylamine, can be considered an appropriated amine to industrial carbon dioxide absorption process. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 2702–2710, 2018

Diamine versus amines blend for CO2 chemical absorption

“…This work shows fast kinetics and low energy requirements that indicate this type of solvents as promising ones. A previous work 18 of our team showed that a diamine allows to reach similar values that amines blend for absorption rate and carbon dioxide loading. Diamines have also shown suitable characteristics as activator for carbon dioxide chemical absorption 19 and lower heat of absorption than commonly used amines 20 …”

Highly Efficient Absorption of CO2 by Protic Ionic Liquids-Amine Blends at High Temperatures

“…Preliminary research studies show that adding amines can reduce the viscosity of ILs, resulting in faster absorption and mass transfer. Especially, the absorption of CO 2 can be enhanced by constructing mixed absorbents of ILs plus amine due to the good affinity between amine and CO 2 . − After extensive studies, − DMAPA as an organic amine has a unique advantage in absorbing CO 2 . In particular, DMAPA-based ionic liquids can effectively absorb CO 2 through intramolecular proton transfer .…”

Selective Adsorption-Based Separation of Flue Gas and Natural Gas in Zirconium Metal-Organic Frameworks Nanocrystals

“…Currently, the benchmark industrially demonstrated process for post-combustion CO 2 capture technology from power plants is amines solvent-based absorption. However, high energy is required in the regeneration process and the corrosive and volatile nature of the amines also presents problems [10,11]. Physisorption of CO 2 into microporous materials has been widely studied in recent years.…”
