Diamine solvent system for CO 2 capture
Disclosed herein is a method and system for CO 2 removal from a gas stream using a diamine solvent having a Formula I R 1 (R 2 )N-L 1 -NH—R 3 Formula I. With respect to Formula I, each of R 1 and R 2 independently is aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or R 1 and R 2 together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, form a heterocyclyl ring; L 1 is aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or L 1 and R 1 together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a heterocyclyl ring; and R 3 is aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, cycloalkylalkyl, or alkoxyalkyl. And/or the compound may have a viscosity of less than 75 cP at a CO 2 -loading of 40 mol % and at a temperature of 40° C.
