Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compositions and methods related to the removal of acidic gas. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a composition and method for the removal of acidic gas from a gas mixture using a solvent comprising a blend of piperazine and at least one diamine or triamine.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising contacting an acidic gas with an aqueous amine solvent, wherein the aqueous amine solvent comprises piperazine and a linear diamine, wherein the linear diamine is 3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine, and wherein the 3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine is present in the aqueous amine solvent at a concentration in the range of from about 4 to about 12 equivalents/kg water. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein 50 mol % or less of the amine in the solvent is the linear diamine. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising flowing the solvent to a stripper operating at a temperature in the range of from about 120° C. to about 165° C. 4. A method comprising contacting an acidic gas with a blend comprising piperazine, diaminoethylpiperazine and aminoethylpiperazine. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the amine concentration of the blend is in the range of from about 8 to about 24 equivalents/kg water and wherein 50 mol % or less of the amine in the blend is aminoethylpiperazine. 6. The method of claim 4 further comprising flowing the blend to a stripper operating at a temperature in the range of from about 120° C. to about 165° C. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the blend composition has reached equilibrium at the operating temperature of the stripper.
