CO(2) Absorption Mechanism by the Nonaqueous Solvent Consisting of Hindered Amine 2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]ethanol and Ethylene Glycol

In this work, we studied the CO(2) absorption mechanism by nonaqueous solvent comprising hindered amine 2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]ethanol (TBAE) and ethylene glycol (EG). The NMR and FTIR results indicated that CO(2) reacted with an -OH group of EG rather than the -OH of TBAE by producing hydroxye...

Sumario:In this work, we studied the CO(2) absorption mechanism by nonaqueous solvent comprising hindered amine 2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]ethanol (TBAE) and ethylene glycol (EG). The NMR and FTIR results indicated that CO(2) reacted with an -OH group of EG rather than the -OH of TBAE by producing hydroxyethyl carbonate species. A possible reaction pathway was suggested, which involves two steps. In the first step, the acid–base reaction between TBAE and EG generated the anion HO-CH(2)-CH(2)-O-; in the second step, the O(−) of HO-CH(2)-CH(2)-O(−) attacked the C atom of CO(2), forming carbonate species.
