S. Xu et al., KINETICS OF THE REACTION OF CARBON-DIOXIDE WITH 2-AMINO-2-METHYL-1-PROPANOL SOLUTIONS, Chemical Engineering Science, 51(6), 1996, pp. 841-850
Reaction rate constants for the reaction between CO2 and the stericall
y hindered amine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), were determined f
rom measurements of the rate of absorption of CO2 into both aqueous an
d nonaqueous (1-propanol) AMP solutions. A stirred-cell reactor having
a horizontal liquid-gas interface was used for the absorption studies
. The zwitterion mechanism was found to be suitable for modelling the
absorption of CO2 into the aqueous AMP solutions and into the 1-propan
ol-AMP solvent. The partial order in amine is greater than one for bot
h cases. The kinetic parameters for aqueous AMP solutions were obtaine
d for temperatures from 15 to 45 degrees C and over the concentration
range of 0.25-3.5 kmol m(-3) of AMP.
