Carbon Dioxide Absorption into Aqueous Blends of Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and Alkyl Amines Containing Multiple Amino Groups

Alkyl amines, which have multiple amino groups, are used as activators to improve the CO2 absorption performances of aqueous methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solutions. The aqueous MDEA blends consisted of 20% (w/w) of MDEA and 10% (w/w) of activators, which are 3-methylamino propylamine (MAPA), diethylenetriamine (DETA), triethylene tetramine (TETA), and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA). Aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine (MEA; 30% (w/w)) and MDEA (30% (w/w)) are used as reference absorbents for comparison. The CO2 absorption performances of aqueous MDEA blends were investigated by measurements of absorption capacities, absorption rates, and heats of absorption. The MDEA blends have higher CO2 absorption capacities than MEA and MDEA. MDEA/TEPA shows the highest CO2 loading amount of 0.753 mol-CO2·mol-absorbent–1 at 313 K. In addition, the MDEA blends show high cyclic capacities (0.241–0.330 mol-CO2·mol-absorbent–1), the values of which are about 3 times higher than that of MEA. All MDEA blends show higher abs...
