Alkanolamines are polyfunctional molecules that include the properties of both alcohols and amines, and because of this they serve as key intermediates in the development of a wide range of products.

Over the past decades, energy researchers have developed various promising solutions to limit the emission of greenhouse ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The new devices run at ambient temperatures and pressures, making them smaller and cheaper than the reactors used to heat amines for CO 2 release.

Because they can remove carbon dioxide from the flue gases of coal-burning facilities such as power plants, solid materials containing amines are being extensively studied as part of potential CO2 ...

Absorption of gas components such as hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a highly regarded treatment option for cleaning a range of ‘acid gases’. Gas cleaning through the use of ...

Organic molecules that have a chiral center three or four carbon atoms from an amine nitrogen atom—called γ- and δ-chiral amines, respectively—are important structural elements in many pharmaceutical ...

Norway’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy last week called for an evaluation of “alternative solutions” to execute a large-scale carbon capture plant whose construction is under way at the Mongstad ...

Scientists have found it may be possible to use "waste" heat to remove CO2 instead of the higher pressure steam needed to make electricity. The team's first findings appear in two new studies that are ...

HOUSTON -- (March 28, 2013) -- In some of the first results from a federally funded initiative to find new ways of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal-fired power plants, Rice University ...
