The use of amine scrubbers to trap carbon dioxide from flue gas streams is one of the most promising avenues for atmospheric carbon dioxide reduction. However, modifications are necessary to efficiently scale these scrubbers for use in fossil fuel plants. Current advances in tailoring amines for CO2 capture involve improvements of bulk kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, with little considera...

frans'-Diamineplatinum(II), Nucleobases, 9-Methyladenine, Synthesis, X-Ray Linking three nucleobases by two metal ions M of linear coordination geometry leads to metal-modified base triples. With M = mzns-(amine)2Ptn, the bases are forced into an essen­ tially coplanar fashion with interbase H bonding maintained in many cases. The model nucleo­ base triples described here are of general composi...

This paper reports on an ATR-FTIR spectroscopic investigation of the CO(2) absorption characteristics of a series of heterocyclic diamines: hexahydropyrimidine (HHPY), 2-methyl and 2,2-dimethylhexahydropyrimidine (MHHPY and DMHHPY), hexahydropyridazine (HHPZ), piperazine (PZ) and 2,5- and 2,6-dimethylpiperazine (2,6-DMPZ and 2,5-DMPZ). By using in situ ATR-FTIR the structure-activity relationsh...

Poly(amidoamine)s (PAMAMs) incorporated into a cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) exhibited excellent CO2 separation properties over H2. However, the CO2 permeability should be increased for practical applications. Monoethanolamine (MEA) used as a CO2 determining agent in the current CO2 capture technology at demonstration scale was readily immobilized in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix by sol...

The process of pure carbon dioxide absorption is analyzed in aqueous solutions of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA). The experiments were made in a stirred tank reactor with a plane and known interface area. The variables considered were the MDEA concentration within the range 0.1–3.0 M and the temperature in the interval 288–313 K. From the results, we deduce that the process takes place under iso...

In this paper we propose a new postcolumn detection method for compounds having primary, secondary, and tertiary amine moieties. The primary and secondary amine are delivatized by a reaction with epichlorohydrin having an epoxy moiety in a reaction coil to yield a tertiary amine with subsequent chemiluminescence detection using [Ru(bpy)3]3+. The liner values of the calibration curves of monoeth...

Density, viscosity and refractive index of pure, binary and ternary mixtures of diethanolamine (DEA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) with water have been measured at different temperatures from 288.15 K to 323.15 K at atmospheric pressure. Also, this study presents the effects of mixture composition and temperature upon these thermo- physical properties. To measure the density and refractive i...

The equilibrium solubility data of CO2 in the various aqueous blends of triisopropanolamine (TIPA) + monoethanolamine (MEA) with the total alkanolamine concentration of 2 mole / dm3 were measured at the temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 oC and CO2 partial pressures below 100 kPa. The experiments were done in an atmospheric gas absorption syste...

2-Amino-3-methyl-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (MeA alpha C) is a proximate mutagenic and carcinogenic heterocyclic amine formed during ordinary cooking. In model systems, MeA alpha C can be formed by pyrolyses of either tryptophan or proteins of animal or vegetable origin. In the present study, the in vivo metabolism of MeA alpha C in rats was investigated. Rats were dosed with tritium-labeled MeA al...
