Kinetics of thermal degradation of renewably prepared amines useful for flue gas treatment
N-ethylmonoethanolamine (EMEA) and N-N-diethylmonoethanolamine (DEMEA) can be prepared from renewable resources and appear to be commercially attractive solvents for post-combustion CO2 capture by absorption/stripping process. In this paper, the thermal degradation of these renewably prepared amines was studied at 423 K and compared with other amines such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and N-methyl diethanolamine. Furthermore, an investigation of the kinetics of thermal degradation of aqueous EMEA and DEMEA was conducted by using a 600 ml high-temperature high-pressure reactor in the temperature range of 393 to 423 K and amine concentration range of 1 to 3 kmol m−3, respectively. Estimation of the active solvent content of the reaction mixture samples obtained during the degradation experiments was performed using a gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and a Tenax GC column. The obtained results indicate that the rate of thermal degradation of both aqueous EMEA and DEMEA increases with the increase in the initial amine concentration and temperature. Additionally, the degradation reaction was observed to be first order with respect to the initial amine concentration. Two intrinsic kinetic power law models were formulated to describe the kinetics of the thermal degradation of aqueous EMEA and DEMEA and the kinetic parameters were predicted by using the linear least-squares regression analysis. The kinetic rate constants for the thermal degradation of these renewably prepared amines were determined (both experimentally and by the models) and on the basis of their temperature dependency, the activation energy for the degradation reaction was estimated. This work represents the first attempt towards obtaining the intrinsic kinetic data for thermal degradation of aqueous EMEA and DEMEA and formulating a kinetic model that fits the data based on the initial rate of degradation.
