Abstract

The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide capture agent containing two types of amine compounds and a carbon dioxide capture method using the same, by which not only an effective and economically sustainable CO2 capture process can be performed but also an improved reaction rate is achieved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A carbon dioxide capture agent comprising an amine mixture,
wherein the amine mixture contains a first amine compound including a tertiary amine; and a second amine compound including a secondary amine.

2 . The carbon dioxide capture agent according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first amine is one or more selected from the group consisting of 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol (3DMA1P), N, N-methyl diethanolamine (MDEA), triethanolamine (TEA), triisopropanolamine (TIPA), and any combination thereof.

3 . The carbon dioxide capture agent according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first amine is 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol (3DMA1P).

4 . The carbon dioxide capture agent according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second amine is one or more selected from the group consisting of piperazine (PZ), propylamine, dipropylamine, butylamine, dibutylamine, isobutylamine, 1,2-dimethyl propylamine, hexylamine, N,N-dimethyl allylamine, dimethylamino ethylamine, 1,3-diamino propane, methylamino propylamine, N-aminoethyl morpholine, iminobispropylamine, 2-pipecoline, 2,4-lupetidine, N-amino-4-pipecoline, 2-piperidine ethanol, 4-piperidinol, N-methyl benzylamine, dibenzylamine, phenethylamine, pyrazine, 2-methyl pyrazine, 2-methyl piperazine, 2,3-lutidine, 2-methyl-4-ethyl pyridine, 4-alkyl pyridine, picolinic acid, 2-aminonicotinic acid, 3-amino pyridine, 3-decyloxy propylamine, and any combination thereof.

5 . The carbon dioxide capture agent according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second amine is piperazine (PZ).

6 . The carbon dioxide capture agent according to claim 1 ,
wherein the amine mixture contains the first amine compound and the second amine compound at a weight ratio of 2 to 15:1.

7 . The carbon dioxide capture agent according to claim 1 ,
wherein a content of the amine mixture is 35% to 45% by weight based on 100% by weight of a total amount of the carbon dioxide capture agent.

8 . A carbon dioxide capture method comprising:
preparing a liquid absorbent containing an amine mixture; bringing the liquid absorbent into contact with a gas or liquid containing carbon dioxide; absorbing carbon dioxide from the gas or liquid; and desorbing the carbon dioxide, wherein the amine mixture contains a first amine compound including a tertiary amine and a second amine compound including a secondary amine.

9 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the first amine is 3-dimethylamino-1-propanol (3DMA1P), and the second amine is piperazine (PZ).

10 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the amine mixture contains the first amine compound and the second amine compound at a weight ratio of 2 to 15:1.

11 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein a content of the amine mixture is 35% to 45% by weight based on 100% by weight of a total amount of the liquid absorbent.

12 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the absorption step is performed at a temperature of 300 to 330 K.

13 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the absorption step is performed at a pressure of 1 to 10 kPa.

14 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the desorption step is performed at a temperature of 380 to 410 K.

15 . The carbon dioxide capture method according to claim 8 ,
wherein the desorption step is performed at a pressure of 90 to 100 kPa.
