Capture and separation of CO2 from flue gas by coupling free and immobilized amines

A novel system was proposed for the capture and separation of CO 2 from flue gas. In this method, a resin was employed to regenerate the amine capturing CO 2 from flue gas at room temperature. The feasibility for the resin to regenerate amines such as MEA, MAE, TEA, and ammonia was demonstrated. It was also discovered that the resin could be regenerated by hot water.
