A comparative study on the carbon dioxide capture power between 30 wt% 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol and 30 wt% methyldiethanol amine aqueous solutions

Abstract

A comparative study has been performed to compare the 30 wt% of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) aqueous solution and 30 wt% of methyldiethanol amine (MDEA) aqueous solution to capture carbon dioxide contained in the flue gas stream. The equilibrium constants for each electrolyte reactions have been used to estimate the carbon dioxide absorption process. Henry’s constants for each binary pairs between solute gases and solvent have been used to estimate solubility of the gas components.
