Abstract

Disclosed is an absorbing liquid for separating and capturing carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide-containing gas, the absorbing liquid containing: at least one alkanolamine represented by formula (1) wherein R 1 represents hydrogen or C 1-4 alkyl, R 2 and R 3 are identical or different and each represent hydrogen or C 1-3 alkyl, R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are not all hydrogen, and n is 1 or 2; a low-molecular-weight diol compound and/or glycerin; and water.

Claims (10)

1. An absorbing liquid for separating and capturing carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide-containing gas, the liquid comprising:

at least one alkanolamine represented by formula (1)

wherein R 1 represents hydrogen or C 1-4 alkyl, R 2 and R 3 are identical or different and each represent hydrogen or C 1-3 alkyl, R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are not all hydrogen, and n is 1 or 2, wherein the at least one alkanolamine represented by formula (1) is an amine mixture of N-isopropylaminoethanol and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol;

a low-molecular-weight diol compound and/or glycerin, wherein the low-molecular-weight diol compound and/or glycerin is ethylene glycol and is present in an amount of from 10 wt % to 20 wt %; and

water.

2. A method for separating and capturing carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide-containing gas, the method comprising:

bringing the absorbing liquid according to claim 1 into contact with a carbon dioxide-containing gas to obtain the absorbing liquid that has absorbed carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide-containing gas; and

heating the absorbing liquid that has absorbed carbon dioxide to desorb and regenerate carbon dioxide from the absorbing liquid and capture the desorbed carbon dioxide.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the absorbing liquid that has absorbed carbon dioxide is heated at a temperature of from 80° C. to 95° C. to desorb carbon dioxide.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the carbon dioxide regenerated from the absorbing liquid is at least 99 vol %.
