The knowledge of vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) the carbon dioxide-alkanolamine-water system at high pressure plays a critical role in design natural gas sweetening systems. Semi-empirical thermodynamic models have been widely used to estimate VLE pressure. However, understanding their correlation behaviour is limited. Therefore, this study reviews chronological development and analyse perform...

A computational investigation of the mechanism dihydrosanguinarine (DHSAN) photoactivation and its conversion into active drug sanguinarine (SAN) is here reported. The reaction DHSAN photoconversion was fully explored by considering excitation first, essential for generating one reactants, 1O2, then locating all minima transition states involved in formation SAN. Both forms present at physiolog...

In the treatment of many fuel gases such as biogas, natural gas, syngas, and so on, tertiary alkanolamines play an important role in selective removal H2S with respect to CO2. The selectivity might be required for various reasons: more stringent specifications, optimize performance Claus unit, lower cost CO2 capture, on. H2S/CO2 is mainly kinetic and, a lesser extent, thermodynamic. A novel exp...

A rapid decrease in parasitaemia remains the major goal for new antimalarial drugs and thus, in vivo models must provide precise results concerning parasitaemia modulation. Hydroxyethylamine comprise an important group of alkanolamine compounds that exhibit pharmacological properties as proteases inhibitors that has already been proposed as a new class of antimalarial drugs. Herein, it was test...

The use of amine scrubbers to trap carbon dioxide from flue gas streams is one of the most promising avenues for atmospheric carbon dioxide reduction. However, modifications are necessary to efficiently scale these scrubbers for use in fossil fuel plants. Current advances in tailoring amines for CO2 capture involve improvements of bulk kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, with little considera...

Corrosion in CO2 Post-Combustion Capture with Alkanolamines – A Review — CO2 capture and storage plays an important part in industrial strategies for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 post-combustion capture with alkanolamines is well adapted for the treatment of large industrial point sources using combustion of fossil fuels for power generation, like coal or gas fired power plan...

Objectives : Acid gases such as carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) that cause global warming are mainly generated in chemical processes. As a technology for reducing acid gas, the post-combustion capture process is representative. Aqueous alkanolamine solution, which used absorption process, most representative absorbent. Thermodynamic ...
