Abstract
Recently the worsening global warming issue caused by emissions and accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has become a subject of public concern. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely considered as the predominant contributor of greenhouse gases. The post combustion CO2 capture technology is one of the commonly used technologies for dealing with CO2 emissions. The absorption of CO2 into aqueous amine solution is regarded to be one of the most promising technologies for post combustion CO2 capture due to its maturity, cost effectiveness, and capacity to handle large amounts of exhaust streams. In this chapter, the general information about the CO2 capture is present. The comparison of the several technologies for CO2 capture is also discussed in order to give the detail about the advantages and disadvantages for each technology. In addition, the detailed introduction about the post combustion CO2 capture by using the amine based solvent is provided in this chapter.
