Absorbent liquid for CO
An absorbent liquid which absorbs at least one of CO 2 and H 2 S from a gas, including a secondary linear monoamine; a tertiary linear monoamine or a sterically hindered primary monoamine; and a secondary cyclic diamine, wherein a concentration of each of the secondary linear monoamine, the tertiary linear monoamine or the sterically hindered primary monoamine; and the secondary cyclic diamine is less than 30% by weight.
1. An absorbent liquid which absorbs at least one of CO 2 and H 2 S from a gas, consisting of:
water;
a secondary linear monoamine;
a sterically hindered primary monoamine; and
a secondary cyclic diamine, wherein
a concentration of each of the secondary linear monoamine, the tertiary linear monoamine or the sterically hindered primary monoamine and the secondary cyclic diamine is less than 30% by weight, and
wherein the secondary linear monoamine is at least one selected from the group consisting of: N-(methylamino)ethanol, N-(ethylamino)ethanol, N-(propylamino)ethanol, and N-(butylamino)ethanol,
and
wherein the sterically hindered primary monoamine is at least one selected from the group consisting of: 2-amino-1-propanol, 2-amino-1-butanol, 2-amino-3-methyl-1-butanol, 1-amino-2-propanol, and 1-amino-2-butanol.
2. The absorbent liquid according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the secondary cyclic diamine is less than the concentration of the secondary linear monoamine and is less than the concentration of the sterically hindered primary monoamine in weight percent relative to the absorbent liquid.
3. The absorbent liquid according to claim 2 , wherein the concentration of the secondary linear monoamine is from 10% by weight to 28% by weight.
4. The absorbent liquid according to claim 3 , wherein the absorbent liquid consists of:
the water;
the secondary linear monoamine;
the steric ally hindered primary monoamine; and
the secondary cyclic diamine, and
wherein the concentration of the sterically hindered primary monoamine is 20% by weight or more.
5. The absorbent liquid according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary cyclic diamine is a piperazine derivative.
6. The absorbent liquid according to claim 5 , wherein the secondary cyclic diamine is piperazine, 2-methylpiperazine, 2,5-dimethylpiperazine, or a mixture thereof.
7. The absorbent liquid according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the sterically hindered primary monoamine is the same as or less than the concentration of the secondary linear monoamine in weight percent relative to the absorbent liquid.
8. The absorbent liquid according to claim 1 , wherein a total concentration of the secondary linear monoamine and sterically hindered primary monoamine is 20 to 55% by weight.
9. The absorbent liquid according to claim 1 , wherein a total concentration of the secondary linear monoamine, the sterically hindered primary monoamine, and the secondary cyclic diamine is 70% by weight or less.
10. The absorbent liquid according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of each of the secondary linear monoamine, and the sterically hindered primary monoamine, is 10% by weight or more.
11. An apparatus for removing at least one of CO 2 and H 2 S from a gas, comprising:
an absorption tower which includes the absorbent liquid according to claim 1 ; and
a regeneration tower which regenerates the absorbent liquid containing the at least one CO 2 and H 2 S absorbed therein by heat of a reboiler.
12. A method for removing at least one of CO 2 and H 2 S from a gas, the method comprising:
absorbing at least one of CO 2 and H 2 S by bringing the absorbent liquid according to claim 1 into contact with the gas; and
regenerating the absorbent liquid containing the at least one of CO 2 and H 2 S absorbed therein by heat of a reboiler.
