Alkanolamines are polyfunctional molecules that include the properties of both alcohols and amines, and because of this they serve as key intermediates in the development of a wide range of products.

Because they can remove carbon dioxide from the flue gases of coal-burning facilities such as power plants, solid materials containing amines are being extensively studied as part of potential CO2 ...

Alkanolamines are used widely in gas treating plants. Because acid-gas removal from natural gas requires regeneration of alkanolamines, the energy requirement for the stripping section (condenser and ...

Effective startups usually stem from efficient scheduling and attention to detail during project design and commissioning. While commissioning of typical amine units can be straightforward, a ...

Chemists use alkylated amines to build plastics, pharmaceuticals, and more. Unfortunately, making these important building blocks on a large scale is energy intensive and relies on nonrenewable ...

Scientists have found it may be possible to use "waste" heat to remove CO2 instead of the higher pressure steam needed to make electricity. The team's first findings appear in two new studies that are ...

Carbon capture may be the future, so technology development and testing are underway today. Unless something dramatic happens to alter the political landscape within the next few years, it seems all ...

Amines are an important class of organic compounds. Students might be aware that adrenaline and ephedrine, which contain secondary amino groups, are used to increase blood pressure. Novocain which is ...

Coal already accounts for 40% of global power generation, and it is expected to play an even larger role as energy needs rise, according to the International Energy Agency, an intergovernmental policy ...
