摘要/Abstract

摘要： The effect of the presence of trace SO₂ in industrial flue gas on the amine-scrubbing-based absorption process for CO₂ capture has been a matter of concern. This study aimed to investigate the effect of trace SO₂ on the CO₂ capture process using piperazine-based amine absorbents, focusing on SO₂-resistance capability, SO₂/CO₂ absorption selectivity, and cyclic stability. The presence of trace SO₂ not only restrains CO₂ absorption, but also promotes the formation of carbamate within the piperazine-based amine absorbents. Remarkably, the incorporation of aminoethyl group in piperazine-based amine absorbents can enhance the SO₂-resistance capability by promoting the formation of carbamate, while piperazine-based amine absorbents with hydroxyethyl group can promote the formation of bicarbonate to reduce the SO₂-resistance capability. The work offers valuable insights into the efficient application of novel amine absorbents for CO₂ capture from practical industrial flue gas.
