Amine-Based Materials for CO2 Capture

Rapid industrialization has brought to the point where the CO 2 emissions must be captured, stored, or utilized for the better and clean environment. Amine-based CO 2 capture system has evolved as the most matured technology for the capture of the CO 2 and is being readily commercialized to attain decarbonization and net-zero goals. This chapter provides fundamental knowledge about different classes of amines along with their chemistry. Further, the process morphology of the typical amine-based CO 2 capture system has been defined along with their design consideration. The biggest hurdle in the use of the amine-based materials is their degradation. Different mitigation strategies are identified to reduce the impact of the amine degradation along with hybrid solvents and their application and innovation which they bring to the process. Finally, different challenges and opportunities are identified for the wide-scale deployment of the amine-based materials for the CO 2 capture to achieve the goals of net zero. The adoption of artificial intelligence and application of machine learning techniques will help in the real-world processes and reduce the energy penalties.
