Experimental evaluation of the heat-stable salts purification with feasible porous material from amine-based solvent in carbon capture
摘要
Chemical absorption with amine-based solvents was treated as a promising route approach for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from industrial flue gases. The heat-stable salts (HSS) degraded from amine species is unavoidable and detrimental for CO2 capture. To solve this problem, 17 porous materials, including anion-exchange resins, macroporous adsorption resins, and activated carbon, were selected for the purification of the hazardous HSS to regenerate the biphasic solvents. The purification performance was thoroughly assessed through experimental tests that examined the effects of various factors, including temperature, flow rate, and pH. Among the materials tested, the macroporous adsorption resin (NKA-9) demonstrated the highest purification efficiency, achieving an adsorption efficiency 92.0% for
