A review for research on thermodynamics and kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption with organic amines

Carbon capture and storage technology is aimed to solve the problem of global warming mainly caused by increase of atmospheric CO2 level. Amine absorption method, as the most mature technology with economic and technical aspects, is an important technology for CO2 capture. In this review, from the start point of basic reaction mechanism, research works and results on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of CO2absorption with amines are summarized, and relationship of CO2 absorption solubility and reaction rates with molecular structures of different types of amines are described. Finally some research directions for thermodynamics and kinetics of CO2 absorption are put forward.
