COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF ACID GASES

摘要

Alkanolamines of formula (I): R-NHCH2CH(OH)CH2CH3, or mixtures thereof wherein R is H, -CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an aryl group having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms are effective in the removal of acidic gases from a fluid stream containing same and show superior degradation properties as compared to alkanolamines conventionally used in the gas purification applications.
