Objective
Objective of this project is to develop solvent(s) that
will be able to meet considerably the present and/or
future requirements of an ideal solvent for carbon
dioxde capture.
Some of the key requirements of the solvent(s) include:







High absorption capacity
High absorption rate
Low regeneration energy
Chemically stable
Non-corrosive
Cheap
Environmentally friendly

CO2 Capture Solvents Review
• Ideal Solvent Properties of Interest
Here we look at the desired properties of an ideal solvent and how
such property is related to CO2 capture process
- Dissociation Constant (pKa)
- Solubility
- Degradation
- Foaming
- Reaction Kinetics
- Toxicity/Environmental properties
• Solvent Collection
– Commercial Solvent
– Single Solvent
– Blended Solvent
- Heat of reaction
- Molecular weight
- Corrosion
- Vapour Pressure
- Cost

Summary
• Several amines solvents have been suggested for CO2 Capture
• It appears there is relationship between amines structures and
their pKa value
• Effort is to explain this relationship using electron donation and
withdrawal through bonds and solvation effect
• To know the benefit that could be derived from this relationship
in CO2 capture process, particularly in solvent selection
• VLE Experiments continues
