Abstract: The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide absorbent. In particular, the present invention relates to a carbon dioxide absorbent comprising an ionic liquid, amine and glycol. Since the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention can retain excellent CO2 absorption capacity despite repetitive regenerations at low temperature, it can reduce energy consumption and a loss of absorbents used, and therefore, can be effectively used for a process of collecting carbon dioxide from exhaust gas and natural gas and separating the same.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel piperazinium trifluoroacetate compound prepared by reacting piperazine with trifluoroacetic acid and a carbon dioxide absorbent prepared by dissolving the compound in an ionic liquid or organic solvent. According to the present invention, the carbon dioxide absorbent has excellent carbon dioxide absorption capacity and low solvent loss, and the energy consumption required for the carbon dioxide absorption and desorption is significantly reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide absorbent, an ionic liquid obtained by reacting amide and an organic acid and a method of using the same. The amidium-based ionic liquid of the present invention has excellent CO2 absorption capability, which is hardly reduced even with repeated use, is easy to synthesize and has low manufacturing cost thus being useful as a CO2 absorbent.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of regenerating a carbon dioxide absorbent which absorbs carbon dioxide emitted from various anthropogenic sources including fossil fuel combustion processes, industrial production processes, and natural gas processing. In the method, the absorbent is preheated using heat generated in a process of compressing the separated carbon dioxide in a compressor and the preheated absorbent is delivered to an absorbent flow control tank, before the used absorbent is delivered to a regeneration tower, thereby improving energy efficiency.
