Oxidative degradation of monoethanolamine (MEA) in CO2capture systems was studied using two different apparatuses and a variety of experimental conditions. Dissolved iron, manganese, and copper were all potent catalysts, increasing the oxidation rate by up to a factor of ten. The activation energy of the oxidation rate was 68–70kJ/mol. Addition of 2% CO2to the gas increased oxidation by a factor of five. The oxidation rate was found to be approximately first-order in oxygen partial pressure. Addition of 50ppm NO2or SO2to the reactor gas had a minimal effect on the degradation rate. The mass balance was closed within 5% at high gas flow and within 20% at low gas flow. Two-thirds of the degraded MEA in both systems was converted to ammonia. Other major products were 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-formamide (HEF) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-imidazole (HEI).
