Here, we developed a novel absorbent for the sustainable capture of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is the blend of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-triethylene glycol di-Me ether (TEGDME)-H2O. The gravimetric absorption capacity was 0.174 g H2S/g lower phase at 101.3 kPa and 15°, which was 1.3 times higher than that of widely used aqueous methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution under the similar condition. In addition, TEGDME was mainly remained in the upper phase, while H2S, H2O, and DBU were mainly concentrated in the lower phase. Moreover, only around 44% of the total absorbent needed to be delivered to the stripper for desorption, and other portion of absorbent was directly sent to the absorption tower. Most importantly, this absorption system was demonstrated to be a benign medium for absorbent regeneration through the liquid-phase Claus process. Our results suggested that this DBU-TEGDME-H2O blend was promising for the sustainable H2S capture and conversion in industrial applications. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2Category: ethers-buliding-blocks).
2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. But on the other hand, ethers undergo cleavage by reaction with acids. Ethers feature bent C–O–C linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111° and C–O distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C–O bonds is low. The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks
