composition ,” filed jun . 30 , 2009 , 12 / 494 , 533 , “ acid gas scrubbing composition ,” filed jun . 30 , 2009 , and ser . no . 12 / 761 , 939 , “ composition for treating acid gas ,” filed apr . 6

fluid stream is contacted with the disclosed composition to form a washed fluid stream and a rich acid gas scrubbing liquid . typically , the composition is contacted with the gas stream at a temperature ranging from about 0 to about 200 ° c . in certain cases , this temperature range may be from about 0 to about 100 ° c . or from about 20 to about 65 ° c . industrial processes generally run at a pressure ranging from about 0 to about 200 atm , from about 0 to about 100 atm , from about 0 to about 70 atm , from about 0 to about 50 atm , from about 0 to about 25 atm , from about 0 to about 10 atm , or from about 1 to about 5 atm during the time when the composition is contacted with the fluid stream . u . s . pat . no . 4 , 556 , “ bis tertiary amino alkyl derivatives as solvents for acid gas removal from gas streams ” discloses pressure ranges from 4 to 70 atm . canadian patent application no . 2 , 651 , 888 , “ carbon dioxide absorbent requiring less regeneration energy ” discloses pressures from 1 to 120 atm . it should be appreciated that this invention is operable in any of these or other pressure ranges encountered in the relevant art . the rich acid gas scrubbing liquid is further processed through a regeneration system where at least a portion of the composition including at least a portion of the absorbent compound ( s ) contacted with the fluid stream are regenerated . the regeneration step normally takes place at a higher temperature than absorption ( depending on the particular industrial process ), usually at a temperature ranging from about 0 to about 500 ° c ., from about 20 to about 250 ° c , or from about 50 to about 150 ° c . the pressure range for the regeneration step is normally from about 0 to about 10 atm or from about 1 to about 5 atm . in certain cases , the regeneration step may be carried out via a steam - assisted reboiler . regeneration may also be carried out via a fractional regeneration process ( e . g ., wo 2007 / 077323 , “ method for deacidifying a gas with a fractionally - regenerated absorbent solution with control of the water content of the solution ”). the foregoing may be better understood by reference to the following examples , which are intended for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention . the testing in this example was used as a means of screening potential acidic contaminant scavengers and also to confirm the performance of existing commercially available scavengers . the test was designed to determine the maximum capacity of an amine solvent in absorbing acidic gases . different amine solvents were compared . the amine solvents were saturated with acidic gases at a constant pressure and temperature until no more gas was able to be absorbed . the difference between the rich and lean loadings was used to determine the working capacity . the test was designed to regenerate the solvent by boiling to remove the acidic gases so that the lean loading of co 2 in an amine solvent could be determined . solvent performance was characterized by liquid loading at equilibrium with defined composition gas mixtures at simulated amine contactor and regenerator conditions relative to industry benchmarks . to highlight the advantages of the disclosed novel amines , several specific samples were benchmarked against common commercial co 2 absorbents ( such as 33 . 8 / 6 . 2 wt . %) methyldiethanolamine / piperazine ( dmdea , a derivative of mdea ), monoethanolamine ( mea ), and illustrated in fig2 ) using a laboratory - scale fixed bed absorption cell and a batch reboiler . the “ sorbent ” numbers indicated in table 1 correspond to the structure numbers above and those indicated in fig2 . the equilibrium saturation test to determine the rich loading ( weight % co 2 absorbed by fresh sorbent ) was run by exposing an aqueous solution of the absorbent at 40 ° c . to 30 psig of co 2 until saturation was reached . the lean loading ( weight % co 2 remaining associated with the absorbent after regeneration ) was determined by refluxing the aqueous solution of the absorbents for two hours at atmospheric pressure . the working capacity is defined as the rich loading minus the lean loading . it is the working capacity that most accurately reflects the capacity of the chemical to absorb co 2 under process conditions . the results of this evaluation are reported in table 1 . to determine rich loading , the equipment consisted of a high pressure gas panel that was capable of receiving supplies of 100 % co 2 , co 2 / n 2 mixtures and co 2 / h 2 s / n 2 mixtures . the chosen gas was fed via a mass flow controller ( sierra series 100 mass flow controller , available from sierra instruments , inc . in monterey , calif .) to the reaction vessel . a gas totalizer ( a sierra compod ) attached to the mass flow controller measured the volume of gas used . once the appropriate gas cylinder valve and regulators were opened , the recirculating bath was set to a temperature of 40 ° c . a 200 ml glass reaction vessel was attached to the head of a buchi picoclave . the inlet and outlet valves to the reaction vessel were closed and the inlet pressure regulator was set to 30 psig . the gas mixture was set to 100 % co 2 and the flow rate was set to 0 . 5 liters / min . after allowing the gas pressure to build to 30 psig at the reactor inlet , the amine solution was prepared at the concentration indicated in table 1 and , after being brought to the same temperature as the reaction vessel , was added to the reaction vessel and stirred at 1 , 000 rpm . the inlet valve was opened and the reactor pressure was allowed to equilibrate to 30 psig . when the pressure in the reactor reached 30 psig , the inlet valve was closed and the gas flow was shut off . the volume in the reactor vessel was recorded . gas flow was resumed after 5 minutes and continued until the pressure equalized to 30 psig . this procedure was repeated until no additional co 2 was absorbed as measured by the final volume . the wt % rich loading of the amine was calculated from the final volume of co 2 absorbed . to determine lean loading , the amine composition to be regenerated was poured into a 250 ml 3 - neck flask equipped with mechanical stirring and a chilled condenser ( 8 ° c ). the amine solution was slowly heated to reflux ( about 100 to 104 ° c ) to help avoid a sudden release of gas which would have caused the solution to foam . the solution was refluxed for 2 hours and then cooled to room temperature . the lean loading of the amine was determined via a standard barium chloride back titration . to determine depth of removal , a mass flow controller ( sierra series 100 mass flow controller ) was used to control the flow of gas through the reactor vessel . the chosen gas was fed via the mass flow controller to the saturation vessel ( which contained deionized water ) and then into the reaction vessel . from the reaction vessel , the gas was fed via a backpressure regulator through a dreschel bottle containing ethylene glycol and a drying tube containing silica gel to the co 2 analyzer . the co 2 analyzer ( signal 7000 fm co 2 analyzer ) recorded the concentration of co 2 flowing through it . the recirculating bath was set to the required temperature of 40 ° c . the 200 ml glass reaction vessel was fitted to the head of a buchi picoclave . a dreschel bottle containing ethylene glycol and a drying tube containing silica gel was connected to the gas line prior to the co 2 analyzer , and the backpressure regulator was set to 90 psig . the gas mixture ( 25 % co 2 / 75 % n 2 ) and the flow rate ( 0 . 45 liters / min ) were then set and allowed to stabilize for 30 minutes . the amine solution was prepared at the concentrations indicated in table 1 and heated as above . the amine was then added to the reaction vessel and the stirrer was set to 1 , 000 rpm . the downstream regulator was closed and the data recording began . the gas flow was allowed to continue until equilibrium was reached ˜ 3 hrs . at the end of the run , the gas flow was stopped , the inlet valve to the reaction vessel was closed , and the data recording was stopped . the tested amines on average absorbed about 1 . 36 moles of co 2 per mole of absorbent compared to less than 0 . 83 mole of co 2 per mole of the common absorbents . although 97 only slightly outperformed the common absorbents sorbent 1 ( r = methyl ) showed a significant increase in working capacity ( 13 % increase based on mea ; 22 % increase based on dmdea ). these novel amines also have a significantly lower lean loading than mea . the boiling points of the disclosed amines range from about 200 to about 280 ° c at 1 atm ( compared to mea at 170 ° c and 1 atm ). such higher boiling points help significantly reduce the losses and potential environmental releases currently associated with the volatility of mea and also help to prevent co 2 contamination during solvent regeneration . initial laboratory stability testing has indicated that unlike mea , which is known to degrade rapidly under process condition , the disclosed amines are highly robust at simulated process conditions showing no signs of degradation . to further highlight the utility of the tested amines for carbon capture , a 25 % co 2 gas stream at 90 psig was passed through the absorbents at 40 ° c until they reached saturation and the depth of removal was recorded . importantly , the depth of removal for many of the tested amines approached 0 %, an indication that they are highly efficient at co 2 capture as shown in table 1 . although a reduction in the lean loading of branched compounds over linear compounds would have been expected , the select group of molecules tested also showed a unique increase in the rich mole ratio of the branched targets ( table 1 )). this unusual reactivity is particularly evident when comparing the linear aep , a promoter known in the industry , to the branched sorbents 97 and 1 ( r = methyl ), this increase in molar capacity is thought to occur via a change in the mechanism by which the amine reacts with co 2 . thus , the reactions between co 2 and the branched amines are of greater efficiency . this example compared the absorption sorbents 97 and 1 ( r = methyl ). the two molecules are identical in molecular weight and were tested under identical conditions ; however , sorbent 1 ( r = methyl ) shows a 7 . 6 % increase in working capacity , and significantly improved in process viscosity and improved process regenerability . this effect has been attributed to the substitution of the piperazine ring carbon . the rate of transfer of a solute between a gas and a liquid is proportional to the liquid film area which is the contact surface between the two phases . this contact area will be beneficially greater in a liquid which has a lower viscosity as compared against a benchmark liquid of greater viscosity due to the decrease in mean gas bubble diameter in the lower viscosity liquid and resulting increase in contact surface area as compared against the liquid of greater viscosity . this benefit is realized in both absorption and desorption of the solute into and out of a liquid phase . in an absorption column the increase in surface contact area proportionally increases the volumetric mass transfer coefficient k 1 a therefore reducing the amount of contact time required to achieve a required solute transfer fraction from gas to liquid phase . in a desorption column , the increase in surface area again benefits the mass transfer , but this time out of the liquid phase and into the stripping gas phase resulting in a reduction in contact time required to achieve the required reduction in liquid phase concentration of the solute as compared to the more viscous benchmark . all of the compositions and methods disclosed and claimed herein can
