Abstract:
A method for removing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from a recycle gas system by means of an absorbent, wherein the CO 2 occurs within a process in which ethylene is oxidized by oxygen (O 2 ) to ethylene oxide (EO) in the gas phase in the presence of a catalyst, in which CO 2 is generated as by-product, by using, as absorbent, an aqueous solution of one or more amines, wherein, for further purification of the recycle gas stream obtained after the CO 2 absorption step, it is brought into intimate contact with water to which have not been added a mineral acid or higher glycol.
Abstract:
Absorption medium for sour gases, comprising an oligoamine (A) of the general formula (I) and a piperazine derivative (B) of the general formula (II), in which the weight ratio of oligoamine (A) to piperazine derivative (B) is 0.2 to 25, and a method for removing sour gases from a gas stream by contacting the gas stream at a pressure of 0.05 to 10 MPa abs with an aqueous solution of said absorption means, said solution being temperature-controlled at a temperature of 20 to 80°C.
Abstract:
Absorption medium for sour gases, comprising an oligoamine (A) of the general formula (I) and a primary or secondary alkanol amine (B) of the general formula (II), in which the weight ratio of oligoamine (A) to primary or secondary alkanol amine (B) is 0.2 to 4, and a method for removing sour gases from a gas stream by contacting the gas stream at a pressure of 0.05 to 10 MPa abs with an aqueous solution of said absorption medium, said solution being temperature-controlled at a temperature of 20 to 80°C.
