Abstract

An absorbing liquid which absorbs the CO 2 or H 2 S or both contained in a gas, and which comprises 1) at least one tertiary-monoamine main agent selected from a tertiary-monoamine group and 2) at least one secondary-diamine first additive selected from a secondary-diamine group, the secondary-diamine concentration being within the range of 0.05 to 0.5 in terms of the additive concentration index represented by the following expression (I). (Additive concentration index)=[(secondary-diamine acid dissociation index) (pKa)/(tertiary-monoamine acid dissociation index) (pKa)] (index ratio)×[(secondary-diamine molar concentration) (mol/L)/(tertiary-monoamine molar concentration) (mol/L)] (molar ratio) (I).

Claims (9)

1. An absorbing liquid which absorbs CO 2 or H 2 S or both contained in a gas, the absorbing liquid comprising:

1) at least one tertiary-monoamine main agent selected from the group consisting of N-methyldiethanolamine, N-ethyldiethanolamine, N-butyldiethanolamine, 4-dimethylamino-1-butanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-di-n-butylaminoethanol, N-ethyl-N-methylethanolamine, 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol, and 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol;

2) at least one secondary-diamine first additive selected from the group consisting of piperazine, 2-methylpiperazine, 2,3-dimethylpiperazine, 2,5-dimethylpiperazine, N,N′-dimethylethanediamine, N,N′-dimethylpropanediamine, N,N′-diethylethylenediamine, N,N′-diethylpropanediamine, N,N′-diisopropylethylenediamine, and N,N′-ditertiarybutylethanediamine; and

3) at least one secondary-monoamine secondary additive selected from the group consisting of 2-ethylaminoethanol, 2-n-propylaminoethanol, 2-n-butylaminoethanol, 2-n-pentylaminoethanol, 2-isopropylaminoethanol, 2-sec-butylaminoethanol, and 2-isobutylaminoethanol;

wherein a concentration of the secondary-diamine is within a range of 0.05 to 0.5 in terms of an additive concentration index represented by Expression (I) in a case of measuring the acid dissociation index at 20° C. using water as a solvent:

Additive concentration index=[secondary-diamine acid dissociation index (pKa)/tertiary-monoamine acid dissociation index (pKa)]index ratio×[secondary-diamine molar concentration (mol/L)/tertiary-monoamine molar concentration (mol/L)]molar ratio; and  (I)

wherein the weight ratio of the secondary monoamine is within a range of 0.05 to 0.55 with respect to the total sum of the tertiary monoamine and the secondary diamine.

2. The absorbing liquid according to claim 1 ,

wherein a total sum of the tertiary monoamine, the secondary diamine and the secondary monoamine is 10% to 70% by weight with respect to the total absorbing liquid.
