Alcoholamine solution is a highly selective desulfurization and decarburization solvent with broad market prospects in the future.

Alcoholamine solution refers to a general term for a liquid that can absorb and desorb carbon dioxide, mainly including monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and more A mixture of solutions. The reaction principle of the alcoholamine solution absorbing carbon dioxide is that the amine molecules of the alcoholamine solution dissociate in the aqueous solution, making the solution alkaline and easy to react with acidic gases such as CO2, thereby achieving the purpose of removing and recovering CO2.

Alcoholamine solution has excellent chemical stability, chemical activity, recyclability and controllability. It is a type of highly selective desulfurization and decarbonization solvent. It is used in the desorption of flue gas, natural gas, refinery gas and synthesis gas in industry. Carbon and desulfurization scenarios are widely used and mainly play the role of adsorbing and removing impurities such as hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide in the raw gas.

With the rapid development of the domestic economy and the further acceleration of the industrialization process, the production of industrial waste gases (carbon dioxide, carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, fluoride, etc.) continues to increase, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues to rise, triggering a global warming trend. Therefore, in order to slow down the trend of global warming, industrial waste gas desulfurization and decarbonization treatment have become key areas of concern for various countries, and the market has broad development prospects.

According to the “2023-2028 Alcoholamine Solution Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, the scale of my country’s carbon emissions has continued to rise. In 2022, domestic carbon dioxide emissions will exceed 11 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of nearly 10%. As a result, my country’s decarbonization solvent market demand continues to grow, and the domestic alcoholamine solution market size will exceed 900 million yuan in 2022.

Currently, the major companies in my country’s alcoholamine solution market include Germany’s BASF, Nippon Shokubai, Japan’s Mitsui Chemicals, Sweden’s Nouryon, South Korea’s KPX Green, the United States’ Huntsman and other international companies, as well as Jiaxing Jinyan Chemical, Zhejiang Yishu Environmental Technology, Changzhou Yuping Chemical , Shandong Hualu Hengsheng Chemical, Maoming Yunlong Industry, Fuzhou Tewei Chemical, China Construction Installation Group, Liaoning Aoke Chemical, Jiangsu Innovation Petrochemical, Ningbo Zhejiang Jiangning Chemical and other local enterprises.

Industry analysts said that alcoholamine solution is a type of highly selective decarburization and desulfurization solvent. The decarbonization and desulfurization scenarios of flue gas, natural gas, refinery gas, and synthesis gas are widely used in industry. As a major carbon emitter in the world, my country continues to advance its dual-carbon goals and intensifies environmental supervision. The market demand for alcoholamine solutions continues to increase, and the industry shows good development prospects. There are a large number of alcoholamine solution companies in my country, and it has become the world’s major producer of diethanolamine and diisopropanolamine, with a good foundation for industry development.
