Abstract

A class of water lean, organic solvents that can bind with various acid gasses to form acid gas bound molecules having a high degree of intramolecular hydrogen bonding which enables their use as regenerable solvents for acid gas capture. Unlike the other devices described in the prior art, the present invention takes advantage of shortened distances between the portions of the molecule that form hydrogen bonds within the structures when loaded with an acid gas so as to create a molecule with a higher internal bonding affinity and a reduced proclivity for agglomeration with other molecules.

Claims (2)

1 . A method for tuning the viscosity of a binding organic liquid comprising the step of adjusting the structure of the acid gas capture molecule by modifying the internal hydrogen bonding distances within the structure to produce a neutral acid gas capture material with a reduced proclivity for agglomeration with other molecules and a resulting lowered viscosity.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the step of modifying the internal hydrogen bonding distances includes limiting the distance between two hydrogen bonded portions to be less than 2 angstroms.
