Popis: Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere have increased significantly over the past century. Many methods have been devised to reduce CO2 industrial emissions, e.g., CO2 postcombustion absorption by amine-based solvents. Solvent degradation losses are very critical in this process, due to economic and environmental issues. The two main degradation pathways of amine-based aqueous solutions in the presence of CO2 are oxidative and thermal degradation. In this work, a lab-scale pilot plant has been set up to carry out degradation experiments during continuous and dynamic cycles of absorption and stripping with three different amine solvents: MEA (monoethanolamine) used as benchmark solvent for CO2 capture, a blend of 1MPZ (1-methylpiperazine) and PZ (piperazine), and a blend of MDEA (methyldiethanolamine) and MEA. The experimental data have been used to assess the performance of CO2 absorption over time and experimental conditions. The variation of CO2 fraction at the gas outlet of the reactor h...
