Abstract

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is a significant global challenge in combating climate change. Chemical absorption using aqueous amine solution is the most mature technology for post-combustion carbon capture [1]. An aqueous blend of 3 M 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) + 1.5 M piperazine (PZ), also known as CESAR1, is considered the current benchmark of this technology [2]. However, experimental gaps in thermodynamics, kinetics and physical properties have been detected in the open literature [3]. In previous works, we filled some of these experimental gaps to accurately characterize the properties of the CESAR1 blend [4, 5].
