Separation of CO2 and TFE by using diethanolamine and diisopropylamine

Muhammad Salman, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon

The near-azeotrope mixture of TFE and CO2 is an important concern urging the scientific community to develop new ways for TFE/CO2 separations. In this work, for the first time, Diisopropylamine (DIPA) and Diethanolamine (DEA) are used as solvents for separ ...
