ON THE KINETICS BETWEEN CO2 AND ALKANOLAMINES BOTH IN AQUEOUS AND NON-AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS. AN OVERVIEW

Alkanolamine solutions are frequently used as solvent for the removal of acid compounds from industrial gases (Kohl and Riesenfeld, 1979). Depending on the process requirements, e.g., selective removal of H2S, CO2-bulk removal, several options for alkanolamine based treating solvents with varying compositions of the solution have been proposed. In this paper an overview is presented of the mechanisms that have been proposed in literature and the kinetic data for the various reactions are critically evaluated. Conclusions on the applicability and restrictions are discussed along with perspectives. In addition white spots in the present knowledge are indicated. The reaction between CO2 and primary/secondary amines both in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions can be described over a wide range of conditions and amine concentrations with the zwitterion-mechanism as originally proposed by Caplow (1968) and reintroduced by Danckwerts (1979). All published results, both non-aqueous and aqueous solutions, amine-prom...
