Abstract: A liquid, aqueous CO2 absorbent comprising two or more amine compounds, where the aqueous solution of amines having absorbed CO2 is not, or only partly miscible with an aqueous solution of amines not having absorbed CO2, where at least one of the amines is a tertiary amine, and where at least one of the amines is a primary and/or a secondary amine, wherein the tertiary amine is DEEA and the primary and/or secondary amine(s) is (are) selected from DAB, DAP, DiAP, DMPDA, HEP, or the tertiary amine is DIPAE, or N-TBDEA and primary and/or secondary amine(s) is (are) selected from DAB, DAP, DiAP, DMPDA, HEP, MAPA, and MEA, and a method for CO2 capture using the CO2 absorbent, are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for capturing CO2 from exhaust gas in an absorber (A1), wherein the CO2 containing gas is passed through an aqueous absorbent slurry wherein said aqueous absorbent slurry comprises an inorganic alkali carbonate, bicarbonate and at least one of an absorption promoter and a catalyst, and wherein the CO2 is converted to solids by precipitation in the absorber, said slurry having the precipitated solids is conveyed to a separating device (F1), in which the solids are separated off, essentially all of at least one of the absorption promoter and catalyst is recycled together with the remaining aqueous phase to the absorber.

Abstract: A CO2 absorbent, comprising an aqueous solution of 2-amino-2-methylpropanol (AMP) and 1-(2-aminoethyl)-piperazine (AEP), wherein the molar concentration of AMP is between 4.5M and 2 M, and the molar concentration of AEP is between 0.5 M and 2 M, and a method for capturing CO2 using the absorbent, are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new method for removing and recovering of acid gases from a gaseous mixture in an absorption plant by adding an organic acid to a stream of the rich absorbent in the desorber in order to release acid gas by shifting the acid gas equilibrium towards the gas side, and the organic acid is subsequently separated from the absorbent. With this method, the energy consumption of the process is substantially reduced. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing this method.
