One of the most mature technologies for post-combustion carbon capture has been the chemical scrubbing technology with CO2-selective aqueous systems using basic amines. Amine scrubbing has been commercially available for decades and has been widely applied in industrial settings such as petrochemical plants, biogas plants, and refineries for carbon capture. The basic process of amine scrubbing for CO2 capture is done using a gas-scrubbing agent containing an aqueous amine solution to absorb CO2 from a gas stream at ambient temperatures. The absorption is then followed by an energy-intensive regeneration of the amine by stripping at higher than 100 °C, where a pure CO2 gas can be released and collected. For the progress of optimizing amine scrubbing for post-combustion carbon capture, many different types of amines have been extensively screened for criteria like energy consumption for solvent regeneration, absorption performance, solvent resistance to degradation, solvent toxicity and volatility . Among these, solvent regeneration and absorption efficiencies are considered the key criteria for assessing the performance of the amines due to the extensive energy penalty during the regeneration process of amine absorbents . The amines can be classified into four different categories of primary, secondary, tertiary, and hindered amines. The primary and secondary amines generally react rapidly to form stable carbamates that limit the CO2 loading to 0.5 moles of CO2 per mole of amine whereas tertiary and hindered amines exhibit slower kinetics and thus form ammonium bicarbonate via base-catalyzed hydration (Reaction 1). The utilization of tertiary and hindered amines, therefore, increases the CO2 loading capacity to one mole of CO2 per mole of amine .
