Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Amine compositions comprising sterically hindered amines and associated methods are provided. In some embodiments, amine compositions of the present disclosure may be useful for selective removal of H 2 S from an acidic gas stream.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: contacting a gaseous stream comprising sulfur-containing compounds with an amine composition comprising a mixture of at least two sterically hindered amines obtained from the reaction of a polyethylene glycol with a tertiarybutylamine in the presence of a nickel-based hydrogenation catalyst wherein the at least two sterically hindered amines comprise a first amine with the formula: and a second amine with the formula: wherein x is an integer from 3 to 14; y is an integer from 3 to 14, and the weight ratio of the first amine to the second amine is about 2.5:1 to about 6:1. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising contacting the gaseous stream with a strong acid. 3. The method of claim 2 wherein the strong acid is phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid. 4. The method of claim 2 wherein x is an integer from 7 to 14 and y is an integer from 7 to 14. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the weight ratio of the first amine to the second amine is about 4:1. 6. A composition comprising an amine composition comprising a mixture of at least two sterically hindered amines comprising a first amine with the formula: and a second amine with the formula: wherein x is an integer from 7 to 14; y is an integer from 3 to 14 and the weight ratio of the first amine to the second amine is about 2.5:1 to about 6:1, and a liquid medium comprising water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof. 7. The composition of claim 6 further comprising a strong acid.
