The gas absorption process for CO 2 separation from gas streams is of high interest in various applications in chemical, oil, and gas industries, as well as in environmental protection. The choice of a certain amine (single or blended amine) for CO 2 capture is mainly based on the absorption capacity, reaction kinetics, and regenerative potential and facility. The application of sterically hindered amines in gas-treating technology offers absorption capacity, absorption rate, and degradation resistance advantages over conventional amines for CO 2 removal from gases. The aim of this review is to bring an update of different aspects concerning several binary and multicomponent systems of CO 2 -sterically hindered amine-based absorbents essential for the design and operation of absorption equipment (physical properties like density, viscosity, vapor pressure, heat capacity and heat of absorption, CO 2 and amine diffusivity, CO 2 absorption capacity and kinetics, regeneration capability).
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.
