The present favored use of amines such as methyl ethyl amine (MEA) for flue gas scrubbing involves chemisorptive bonding of the carbon dioxide the disadvantage of which is the energy intensive regeneration. The choice of scrubbing agent thus plays a central role. Various branched polymers (polyethers, polyesters, polyamines) with respect to their suitability as absorption agent were considered for their suitability as absorption agents for carbon dioxide separation from flue gases. Solubility results of various gases (carbon dioxide and nitrogen) in the branched polymers and solubility of carbon dioxide in aqueous polymer solutions were presented and the influence of structure and functional groups on selectivity and capacity was considered. For chosen gas/liquid equilibria (GLE), UNIFAC-FV modeling results were presented. Building on the measured GLE, process syntheses were made. The resulting absorption processes were depicted in Aspen Plus and evaluated in terms of energy use and compared with state of the art absorption processes. The use of novel scrubbing agents instead of conventional absorbents is a promising alternative for carbon dioxide separation from flue gases. Graph.
