Abstract

A carbon dioxide absorbent containing a polyamine compound (A) having an alicyclic hydrocarbon structure, wherein a content of the polyamine compound (A) is 60% by mass or more.

Claims (21)

1 . A carbon dioxide absorbent comprising a polyamine compound (A) having an alicyclic hydrocarbon structure, wherein a content of the polyamine compound (A) is 60% by mass or more, and

wherein a content of water is less than 1% by mass, and

wherein the polyamine compound (A) is a compound represented by the following formula (1),

wherein R 1 to R 4 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 or more and 10 or less carbon atoms, and optionally having at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of an amino group, a cyano group and a phenyl group; R 5 to R 10 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 or more and 4 or less carbon atoms; x and y each independently represents an integer of 0 or more and 6 or less; x+y is 1 or more and 6 or less; and p and q each independently represents an integer of 0 or more and 4 or less.

2 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum carbon dioxide release temperature of the polyamine compound (A) is 140° C. or less as measured by the following method, the method comprising:

heating the polyamine compound (A) with carbon dioxide absorbed from 23° C. to 250° C. at 10° C./minute of a heating rate;

measuring a temperature at which an endothermic amount associated with desorption of carbon dioxide reaches a maximum; and

taking the temperature as the maximum carbon dioxide release temperature.

3 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of the polyamine compound (A) is 8.0 or more and 12.0 or less.

4 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein a molecular weight of the polyamine compound (A) is 140 or more and 1,000 or less.

5 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum endothermic temperature of the polyamine compound (A) is 130° C. or more and 300° C. or less as measured by the following method,

the method comprising:

heating the polyamine compound (A) from 23° C. to 350° C. at a 10° C./minute of a heating rate;

measuring a temperature at which an endothermic amount associated with volatilization of the polyamine compound (A) reaches a maximum; and

taking the temperature as the maximum endothermic temperature of the polyamine compound (A).

6 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein an amine value of the polyamine compound (A) is 500 mgKOH/g or more and 1,500 mgKOH/g or less.

7 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein a number of amino groups in the polyamine compound (A) is 2 or more and 6 or less.

8 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein the alicyclic hydrocarbon structure comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a 5-membered ring and a 6-membered ring.

9 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamine compound (A) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane and derivatives thereof, and isophoronediamine and derivatives thereof.

10 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon dioxide absorbent is used for directly absorbing carbon dioxide from the air.

11 . The carbon dioxide absorbent according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamine compound (A) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane and derivatives thereof.
