Diamine versus amines blend for CO2 chemical absorption

Abstract Present work analyses the behavior of aqueous solutions of N , N ‐dimethylethylenediamine as chemical solvent for carbon dioxide separation by gas–liquid absorption. The interest of this molecule is centered on the presence of different types of amino centers that confer it the capability to act as a solvent based on amines blend. For this reason, a comparison between diamine and amines blend solvent has been carried out in order to understand the differences between these solvents using absorption and nuclear magnetic resonance studies. This experimental work analyses the influence of amine type, concentration, and ratio between different amines. Also, the effect of gas flow rate used in the bubble column reactor upon the absorption kinetics has been analyzed.
