2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol as additive to enhance carbon dioxide removal by monoethanolamine emulsion liquid membrane

Aqueous Monoethanolamine (MEA) is widely used as the Carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent in process industries. Recent technology has shown that a mixture of MEA with other amines can enhance its capability as CO2 absorbent. The addition of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) into aqueous phase containing...
