Abstract:Increasing carbon dioxide emissions has sparked a growing
interest
in capturing these emissions at the source of their release. For such
processes, amines can be used as carbon dioxide capture agents. Herein,
CO2 was captured under ambient conditions using solutions
of amines and polyamines in ethylene glycol. The captured solutions
were then successfully hydrogenated to methanol under hydrogen pressure
with a heterogeneous Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 industrial
catalyst. An extensive amine scope found that tetramethyl-1,6-h… Show more
