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.

Researchers have demonstrated a relatively simple regeneration technique that could utilize waste steam to remove carbon dioxide from solid amine materials used to capture the greenhouse gas from the ...

A research team has discovered a new chemical reaction that provides a simple, rapid way of making tertiary amines -- swinging the door wide open to the discovery of new medicinal compounds. A ...

Amide bonds are common in drugs because they are chemically stable, form readily and are biocompatible. They also help ...

As a First Step Toward exiting chemicals and becoming a pure drug company, the Belgian chemicals and pharmaceuticals group UCB divested its business in alkylamines in 2003. Other chemical companies ...

Alkanolamines are used widely in gas treating plants. Because acid-gas removal from natural gas requires regeneration of alkanolamines, the energy requirement for the stripping section (condenser and ...

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 ...

During operation with elevated levels of CO 2 degradation products, the liquid treating system experienced corrosion failures on process equipment and operational upsets including amine-hydrocarbon ...

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 ...

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 ...
