Why does 2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethanol have superior CO2 separation performance to monoethanolamine? A computational study†
Abstract
Our computational reaction analysis shows that 2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethanol (AEEA) has superior performance to monoethanolamine for CO2 separation, in terms of its ability to sorb CO2 by its primary amine and desorb CO2 by its secondary amine.
