“…In addition, other criteria that need to be considered are, according to [5], base strength (pK a ), molecular weight per NH functionality, slope of equilibrium curve, heat of absorption, viscosity, nature of degradation products, nitrosamine formation potential, cost and availability, and HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment). Research on solvent development has been conducted to meet those criteria by testing alkanolamines and their blends, sodium carbonate solutions, chilled ammonia, and amino acid salts [3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
