Performance Evaluation of a New Novel Amine Bi-Blend Solvent in a Catalyst Aided CO2 Capture Process in a Full Cycle Mini Pilot Plant
The amine-based post-combustion capture method utilizes reactive solvents, amines, to absorb CO2 from industrial flue gas. Despite its proven success, this method faces a significant challenge due to its high energy requirements. Efforts have been made to enhance the process’s efficiency, particularly in reducing its energy demand. One such endeavor involves the development of solvents […]
