Abstract :

This paper elucidates the current gas chromatographic (GC) analytical method and advances in quantitative determination of amine degradation products, emphasizing on influence of sample preparation, column and detector selection. We commented on the literature and found that head space solid phase micro extraction (HS-SPME) is one of the simplest and viable methods for analyzing amines. Plausibly, GC-MS is a well-established method with pre-derivatization, and it is affordable while its library is readily available for searching the detected compounds. Amine degradation is one of the major issues associated with amines based CO2 absorption in post-combustion CO2 capture. Therefore, analysis of amines and their degradation products is of utmost importance in determining the viability of the amine. This review presents the applications of GC in amine-based CO2 capture technology with their corresponding degradation products.
