Title: CO2 mass transfer enhancement of aqueous amine solvents by particle additives

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1637818

The present invention relates to methods for improving carbon capture by providing particles within an amine solvent. The particles provide for increased turbulence at the interface between the counter-flowing gas and solvent, which allows for increased amine and carbamate salt diffusion between the liquid film and bulk.
