A review of gas chromatographic techniques for identification of aqueous amine degradation products in carbonated environments.

Degradation of amines is a significant issue allied to amine-based carbon dioxide (CO) absorption in post-combustion CO capture. It becomes essential to have a detailed understanding of degradation products for advanced post-combustion CO capture technology. Identification and quantification of degradation products of amines help in practicability and environmental assessment of amine-based technology.
