Reduction Of Amine Emissions From An Aqueous Amine Carbon Dioxide Capture System Using Charged Colloidal Gas Aphrons, Xiaobing Li, Jesse G. Thompson, Kunlei Liu

Center for Applied Energy Research Faculty Patents

The present invention includes a system and process to reduce amine mist emissions (or MEA) from carbon capture systems using colloidal gas aphrons (CGA), and includes a method for separating and recovering an amine solvent (e.g., in the form of entrained droplets/mist and/or fine aerosol particles) from a carbon dioxide scrubbed flue gas stream exiting a carbon capture system (e.g., oil-fired power plants, coal-fired power plants, and/or natural gas combined cycle plants).
