文摘

During amine scrubbing of CO₂ from flue gas, carbamate and bicarbonate species are formed, the amount of which is directly related to the process performance. In this study we present a fast calibration-free spectroscopic technique for determining the speciation of CO₂鈥揌₂O鈥揳lkanolamine systems and in turn the amine protonation and carbamate thermodynamic equilibrium constants. The method is based on in situ infrared monitoring of the liquid phase during CO₂ absorption by an aqueous amine solution in a stirred vessel, combined with mathematical hard modeling of the reaction mechanism. The species concentrations are calculated by fitting of a thermodynamic model to multivariate spectroscopic measurements using nonlinear regression. Successful applications include the determination of the amine protonation and carbamate equilibrium constants of one primary (MEA), one secondary (DEA), and one sterically hindered primary (AMP) amine at 40 掳C.
