Abstract
A method and apparatus for utilizing an amine-based absorption compound for flue gas, or combustion gas, COcapture, according to embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, COis delivered from a wet, or dry, flue gas scrubber to an absorber. The amine-based absorption compound is introduced in an aqueous solution to the absorber, which is located downstream of the wet, or dry, flue gas scrubber. In some embodiments, the CO-laden amine-based absorption compound is then subjected to a regeneration step to regenerate the CO-laden amine-based absorption compound and strip out absorbed CO. In some embodiments, energy is supplied to a stripper through a reboiler to accomplish the regeneration step.
