‘HOT’ paper – Chemically Selective Gas Sweetening Without Thermal-Swing Regeneration
Scientists have reacted anhydrous alkanolamines with H2S to produce switchable hydrosulfide-based ionic liquids, of which H2S can be released without thermal heating. H2S removal from natural gas is commonly known as ‘‘gas sweetening,’’ a process that uses either physical or chemical sorbents.
