- Description
- The reaction between CO₂ and a subset of synthesised novel heterocyclic diamines, including hexahyhropyrimidine (HHPY), 2-methylhexahydropyrimidine (MHHPY) and hexahydropyridazine (HHPZ) have been investigated and compared to piperazine (PZ). The chemical reactions between CO₂ and the heterocyclic diamines were followed insitu using ATR FT-IR spectroscopy. The effect of structural variations on CO₂ absorption was assessed in relation to the prevalent ionic reaction products identified (carbamate versus bicarbonate absorbance), CO₂ absorption capacity and initial absorption rate. HHPY was found to exhibit a similar reactivity toward CO₂ as PZ, with improved aqueous solubility. The α-methyl substituted MHHPY was found to favour HCO₃⁻ formation in the reaction with CO₂. Despite forming predominantly HCO₃⁻, MHHPY exhibited a comparable reactivity to that of the conventional amines MEA and DEA and improved reactivity when compared to the conventional α-methyl substituted primary amine AMP. HHPZ was found to be relatively non-reactive towards CO₂.
