Abstract
An energy efficient proprietary mixed solvent for the separation of CO 2 from power plant flue gas streams has been developed. The solvent co mbines the higher reaction rate of a more reactive solvent and the low er heat of reaction of a less reactive solvent and achieves mass trans fer rates similar to more reactive monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent via a catalytic mechanism. The regeneration energy required is 30% less th an conventional MEA. Solvent losses and corrosion rates are 10 and 5 t imes lower than MEA, respectively.
