Emerging N-nitrosamines and N-nitramines from amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture – A review

Amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture (PCCC) technology is regarded as one of the most viable solutions for the mitigation of CO2 emissions. It has been mature enough to be implemented on commercial scales. However, N-nitrosamines and N-nitramines can be formed as by-products of amine degradation during PCCC processes. They are suspected carcinogens and strictly regulated. With the development of PCCC technology across the global, PCCC …
