(author)Precipitating amino acid solvents are an alternative to conventional amine scrubbing for CO2 capture from flue gas. Process operation with these solvents leads to the formation of precipitates during absorption that need to be re-dissolved prior to desorption of CO2. The process configuration is crucial for the successful application of these...article 2014

(author)CO2 readily reacts in aqueous amine solutions. The properties of free CO2 in amine solutions are therefore difficult to obtain directly and are often predicted from the nonreacting molecule N2O due to the similarities in mass and structure. This often-used empirical "CO2/N2O analogy" is verified in this work using molecular simulation....article 2014

(author)Post combustion CO2 capture (PCC) with amine solvents is seen as one of the possible technologies which can be implemented in the near term to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuel power plants.

(author)This study is to our knowledge the first to evaluate the potential of a wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) to prevent aerosol formation issues inside amine based carbon capture installations.

Hernandez Mireles, I. (author), van der Stel, R.W. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)It is generally recognized, that algae could be an interesting option for reducing CO2 emissions. Based on light and CO2, algae can be used for the production various economically interesting products. Current algae cultivation techniques, however, still present a number of limitations. Efficient feeding of CO2, especially on a large scale, is...conference paper 2014

(author)Amine-based absorption-desorption processes are considered to be the state-of-the-art technology for CO2 capture. However, the typical amines used are susceptible to oxidative and thermal degradation. Ammonia is formed as a result of oxidative solvent degradation. Because of the volatility of ammonia, significant emissions of ammonia can occur....article 2014
