Abstract
Amine compositions comprising sterically hindered amines and associated methods are provided. In some embodiments, amine compositions of the present disclosure may be useful for selective removal of H2S from an acidic gas stream.
Claims12
An amine composition comprising:
- a mixture of at least two sterically hindered amines obtained from the reaction of a polyethylene glycol with a tertiarybutylamine in the presence of a nickel-based hydrogenation catalyst wherein the at least two sterically hindered amines comprise a first amine with the formula:
- and a second amine with the formula:
- wherein x is an integer from 3 to 14;
- y is an integer from 3 to 14, and the weight ratio of the first amine to the second amine is about 2.5:1 to about 6:1.
