This study investigated the carbon dioxide (CO₂) absorption and desorption performance of a mixed amino acid solution (containing glycine (G), alanine (A), proline (P), and lysine (L), GAPL). These four amino acids were intentionally selected to reflect the chemical and structural variations (pK_a and steric hindrance of amino groups) of amino acids. The single cycle CO₂ capture experiment showed that the GAPL salt solution had 19% higher CO₂ absorption (0.91 mol CO₂/mol amino acids) compared to the absorption calculated by adding the proportional capacities of G, A, P, and L (0.77 mol CO₂/mol amino acids). ¹³C NMR data delineated the effects of individual amino acids on carbamate and bicarbonate/carbonate formation and elucidated the distribution of captured CO₂ in the GAPL salt solution. The recirculation experiment concluded that the GAPL salt solution had much better CO₂ capture performance than the conventional monoethanolamine process. Less than 10% of the absorption and cyclic capacity of the GAPL salt solution was lost after ten cycles of CO₂ capture. Furthermore, this study demonstrated an approach that blended amino acid solutions can be tailored and designed as new, efficient reagents to massively capture CO₂ in a technically feasible, economically viable, and environmentally friendly manner.
