Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided for inhibiting nitrosation of an aqueous amine solution used in a process of removing carbon dioxide from a flue gas. That method includes a step of adding an effective amount of an antioxidant to the aqueous amine solution being circulated between an absorber and a stripper of a carbon dioxide capture system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method of inhibiting nitrosation of an aqueous amine solution used in a process of removing carbon dioxide from a flue gas, comprising: adding an effective amount of an antioxidant to the aqueous amine solution being circulated between an absorber and a stripper of a carbon dioxide capture system whereby carbon dioxide is removed from flue gas and formation of undesirable nitrosamines and nitramines is inhibited, wherein the antioxidant is selected from the group consisting of vanillin, vitamin D, erythorbic acid, triphenylmethylmercaptan, 2-mercapto 1-methyl benzimidazole and 2,5-dimercapto 1,3,5-thiodiazole. 2. The method of claim 1 , including maintaining said antioxidant at a concentration of between about 0.01 mM to about 1,000 mM in said aqueous amine solution. 3. The method of claim 1 , including maintaining said antioxidant at a concentration of between about 0.1 mM to about 100 mM in said aqueous amine solution. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antioxidant includes a is vanillin. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antioxidant is vitamin D. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antioxidant is erythorbic acid. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antioxidant is triphenylmethylmercaptan. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antioxidant is 2-mercapto 1-methyl benzimidazole. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antioxidant is 2,5-dimercapto 1,3,5-thiodiazole.
