The structure and nature of adsorbed species on solid amine sorbent under various CO₂ concentrations from ambient air (0.04 vol %) to an CO₂/air stream (15 vol %) have been studied by using in situ IR spectroscopy. The in situ IR study (i) provided evidence to support the zwitterion pathway for CO₂ adsorption/desorption and (ii) allowed the determination of the nature of the adsorbed species. The IR-observable zwitterion was deprotonated to ammonium carbamate and carbamic acid reversibly. CO₂ adsorbs on the primary amine site as a strongly adsorbed species in the form of ammonium carbamate and on the secondary amine site as a weakly adsorbed species in the form of carbamic acid. Another form of weakly adsorbed species could be ammonium carbamate on the secondary amine. An increase of the concentration of CO₂ in the stream increased the CO₂ capture capacity, the fraction of strongly adsorbed CO₂, and the binding energy of adsorbed species. A concentration of 400 ppm CO₂ in air competes over 0.5 % of water vapor for adsorption on Class I amine sorbents.
