Available solvents are almost exclusively based on alkanolamines

Disadvantages of alkanolamines:
Volatile (Loss of solvent during the regeneration process)
Degraded by oxygen (Loss of solvent)
Toxic degradation products (Create environmental concern)
Mono-ethanolamine MEAThe alkanolamine most widely used for CO2 capture

Activating the amino acid for CO2 capture
The potassium salt of the amino acid is the active component reacting with CO2
An equivalent amount of strong base (KOH) is added

CO2 reacts with amino acid salt solutions similar to alkanolamines

Precipitation
Precipitation of the reaction products can occur with high amino acid salt concentration at high CO2 loading
Precipitation offers certain interesting opportunities as well as drawbacks:
Opportunities:
Increase of CO2 loading capacity
Drawbacks:
plugging of the equipment.

Conclusions
The amino acids tested showed good CO2 loading capacities compared to MEA.
With increased amino acid salt concentration precipitation was observed for glycine, taurine and proline.
There is no increase in CO2 loading capacity due to precipitation under the experimental conditions used.
Lysine offers high CO2 capacity without precipitation.
Taurine and lysine showed the better heat stability.

Cyclic absorption & desorption
VLE (Static- synthetic – Indirect)
Static
The CO2 is added at the beginning of the experiment (not continuously).
Synthetic
Exact composition of what is inside the cell is known.
Indirect
The amount of CO2 absorbed is measured indirectly:
V of the CO2 gas phase at equilibrium
• of the CO2 gas at equilibrium conditions (P,T) NIST data base
Mass of the CO2 gas phase at equilibrium is calculated .
MassCO2 absorbed = MassCO2 added - MassCO2 gas phase at equilibrium

A known amount of CO2 is put into the cylinder.
Addition of solution followed by vacuum
of the systemVia a camera with monitor the volume of the solution at equilibrium is determined.
Equilibrium (T & P constant):Vgas phase = Vsystem – Vsolution
Knowing the density of CO2 gas at equilibrium conditions the mass of CO2
absorbed is calculated.
