“…Commercial amines for the CCS technology can be classified into four types: (i) primary amine: monoethanolamine (MEA); (ii) secondary amine: diisopropanolamine (DIPA) and diethanolamine (DEA); (iii) tertiary amine: methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), triethanolamine (TEA), and triethylamine (TEA); and (iv) steric hindrance amine: 2-amino-2-methyl propanol (AMP). MEA is the most widely used amine because of its high reactivity and reasonable cost. − AMP has also attracted attention owing to its high CO 2 absorption capacity and chemical stability. ,, Recently, CO 2 absorption solvents have been developed by mixing two or more amines to take advantage of the favorable properties of each amine. ,− For instance, blended amine solutions (1) can utilize both physical and chemical properties, (2) can improve equilibrium amounts and kinetic characteristics, and (3) can control heat of absorption, pH, corrosion, and solvent degradation. , In a previous study of Mahmoodi et al, MEA was used as an activator to enhance the CO 2 solubility of AMP. In this study, the characteristics of CO 2 absorption in a blended aqueous solution of MEA and AMP were examined using experiments and thermodynamic models.…”
