Abstract
Due to a number of advantages amino acid salt solutions have emerged as alternatives to
the alkanolamine solvents for the chemical absorption of CO2 from flue gas. The use of
amino acids in CO2 capture is a bio-mimetic process, as it is similar to CO2 binding by
proteins in the blood, such as hemoglobin. Amino acid salt solutions have the same amine
functionality as alkanolamines, and are thus expected to behave similar towards CO2 in
flue gas. Despite rising interest, few studies have been performed so far on amino acids
as CO2 absorbents.
