Publication Overview
This workshop was the eleventh in a series to discuss co-operation in development of MEA and other solvents and associated techniques to capture CO2 from power plant flue gases. The previous events were, in Gaithersburg, Calgary, Apeldoorn, Kyoto, Pittsburgh, Trondheim, Vancouver, Austin, Copenhagen, and Lyon
Publication Summary
MEA thermal degradation has been quantified over a wide range of conditions | Most amines thermally degrade, but there is a wide variation in rates | Thermally stable amines can degrade when used in a blended system | MEA oxidative degradation was an order of magnitude faster than AMP and PZ under similar conditions | Amides of common oxidative degradation products have been found at significant quantities | NOx and CO emissions were found in the vapor phase analysis at absorber conditions
