Generation of Electricity

http://www.eia.gov/electricity/

~40% of US electricity comes from coal This source of power will not be eliminated in near future

12 R. Perry 6/19/2013

Generation of Electricity from Coal


General Process Diagram Coal is burned in a boiler to generate steam. Steam is used to produce electricity. Flue gas from boiler treated to remove solids, NOx, SO2. CO2 from combustion currently exhausted to air.
-1400 plants in US produced 318 GW electricity in 2011. -Also released ~1.7 billion tons of CO2. -largest commodity chemical is H2SO4 = 60 million tons

CO2 Capture & Sequestration


CO 2 Capture- Removal of CO2 from flue gas. Potential approaches: - Chilled ammonia - Aqueous solutions of organic amines - Carbonates - Ionic liquids - Cryogenics - Membranes CO 2 Use & Sequestration- Storage or use of captured CO2. Potential approaches: - Geological storage - Enhanced oil recovery/fracking - Artificial photosynthesis - Reduction to fuel (methanol)

CO2 Capture Process Schematic

MEA Process Issue - Cost of Electricity (COE)


Sources of Extra Cost

30% power lost in conventional MEA process (~80% increase in COE). Significant portion of that due to heating/condensing water Other issues with MEA: - Corrosivity - Thermo-oxidative instability - Volatility

16 R. Perry 6/19/2013

17 R. Perry 6/19/2013

Aminosiloxanes
High molecular weight amino polysiloxanes used in conditioners for hair & in textile treatment Amine content of these commercial polysiloxanes low little CO2 capacity
Need low molecular weight monomeric or oligomeric versions Commercially available examples:

Synthetic Route 1: Alkylation of Primary Amines

Examples:

M. OBrien

This method can be problematic => over alkylation is an issue


Alkyl iodide added to excess amine to mitigate this issue Excess amine removed with water washes or vacuum stripping
20 R. Perry 02/22/2013

Synthetic Route 2: Hydrosilylation/Hydrogenation

Example:
NaOMe / EtOAc/MeOH

PdCl2L2 / PPh3

R. Perry

Hydrosilylation is extremely useful in silicone chemistry.

Absorbs CO2 very rapidly in the 40-50oC range

High CO2 loading (>17% weight gain, >95% of theoretical value)


Carbamate readily decarboxylates at higher temps However carbamate is solid
26 R. Perry 6/19/2013

Neat Aminosiloxane Summary


Nearly all aminosiloxanes synthesized gave solid reaction products with CO2. - Depending on nature of solid=> variable CO2 uptake (mass transfer issues)

Exceptions were copolymers like:

M. OBrien

However these materials showed inferior CO2 uptake (<10% wt gain). - Very viscous carbamates => again poor mass transfer tested in bulk

Given that carbamates are mostly solids or very viscous liquidswanted to test in non-aqueous co-solvents
27 R. Perry 6/19/2013

Co-solvent Selection
Needs to solubilize both aminosiloxane and carbamate at high concentrations
High boiling to minimize evaporative loss on desorption

Thermally stable/low toxicity/etc Low specific heat Best results obtained with ethylene glycol oligomers

Triethylene glycol (TEG) bp = 126oC/0.1 mm Hg Specific heat half of H2O

36 R. Perry 6/19/2013

Aminosiloxane/Solvent Blend Summary


Aminosiloxanes efficiently & reversibly react with CO2 Primary amine functionality works best Enhanced thermal stability and vapor pressure over MEA
Polyethylene glycol derivatives like TEG can be used to maintain solution liquidity during CO2 absorption Mass and heat transfer may be mitigated using TEG

Best candidate currently appears to be GAP-1/TEG Received additional DOE grant to scale this process up to 80-100X previous lab scale

39 R. Perry 6/19/2013

Phase-Changing Absorbent

Many neat aminosiloxanes give solid carbamate salts.

Some were high quality, free-flowing powders Those that were powder exhibited high CO2 uptake.
- Some >50% higher weight gain than 30% MEA Could we devise a process to allow use of these materials?
