“…The CO 2 solubility in several aqueous amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), N -methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) has been studied in the literature over an extensive range of temperatures, pressures, and concentrations. Nevertheless, due to either low-equilibrium CO 2 solubility or low reaction rates of these amines, addition of activators is recommended by many researchers. , Various activators such as piperazine and its derivatives blended with AMP, MDEA, MEA, and potassium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 ) have been widely considered in the literature. Other amine activators which have been studied and proposed for the said purpose are bis (3-aminopropyl) amine (APA), hexamethylenediamine, and triethylenetetramine. − One of the PZ derivatives, viz., 2-methyl piperazine (2-MPZ), is explored in the present study for CO 2 absorption.…”
