Absorption of Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen Sulfide by Sterically Hindered Amine Amp (eBook)

Master's Thesis from the year 1984 in the subject Chemistry - Other, , language: English, abstract: In a pioneering research study, experimental data for the absorption rates of CO2, H2S and a mixture of both in hindered amine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) aqueous solutions (0.03M, 0.1M, 0.2M and 0.3M) are presented for the first time. Results are compared with the absorption rate in monoethanolamine (MEA) solutions of similar concentrations. The obtained results describe the conditions under which AMP can be a better solvent than MEA and mention the opposing factors of the absorption of CO2 by the steric hindrance effect of AMP and the concentration of the unstable carbamate.

Professor Zin Eddine Dadach was born in 1957 in the city of Beni Saf, Ain Temouchent, Algeria. He studied in a technical college of the city of Tilimsen, and continued to the Algerian Institute of Petroleum to obtain in 1980 his Bachelor's Degree in Refining and Petro-Chemistry. His Master's Degree is in Chemical Engineering which he obtained in 1984 from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA. Being dedicated to knowledge, he pursued his Ph.D. Degree in Chemical Engineering at Laval University, Quebec, Canada, which he completed in 1994. He continued specialization in the field of Biotechnology in Japan, at Osaka National Research Institute, where he contributed from 1994 to 1996. Since 2005 he is on the Academic Faculty at the Higher Colleges of Technology, Chemical Engineering Department, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
