Chemometric analysis of a new benchmark CO2 capture solvent
Abstract
Greenhouse gases have challenging consequences on climate change and CO2 is one of the most effective elements in this issue. the methods to mitigate these effects such as capturing the carbon dioxide are the aim of this project. CESAR1 (27 wt% 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol+13 wt% Piperazine) as an aqueous solution is the main solution to consider in this project. Many experiments have been implemented in this study to evaluate this solution. FTIR, pH as well as density measurements are thoroughly studied. All data is evaluated in Unscrambler with the PLS-R method. However, NMR results could not be prepared because of a delayed response from the SINTEF company as well as titration due to several errors. But all experiments that have been completed during this study, were given practical and considerable information about the CESAR1 solution. pH and density measurements are performed to give results about the effects of loading CO2 in the CESAR1 solution. FTIR test is performed to determine the composition of the CESAR1. A series of tests have been done to analyze the effect of CO2 on CESAR1 solution. According to the PLS-R analysis, it has been reached to the composition of the CESAR1 solution and how the CO2 loaded affected the investigations. From my findings, I can conclude that the FTIR technique is an effective method for the decomposition of this solution to capture carbon dioxide.
