It was found that sarcosine can maintain a higher pKₐ than the other amino acids studied at high temperatures. We also found that the CO₂ solubilities and overall mass-transfer coefficients of 5 m' sarcosinate (moles of sarcosine per kilogram of solution) at 333-353 K are higher than those of 30% MEA at 313-353 K. These results show that some possible benefits can be produced from the use of sarcosine as a fast solvent for CO₂ absorption at high temperatures. However, the pronotation reaction of sarcosine is the least exothermic among those of all amino acids studied. This could lead to a high regeneration energy consumption in the sarcosinate-based CO2 capture process.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:59 AEDT ]]>
