Cover Story: The chemical degradation of amine solvents and formation of heat stable salts (HSS) during operation are one of the major challenges of further exploitation of amine scrubbing for CO2 capture. Electrodialysis (ED) can be successfully used for removal of HSS. In this study, it was shown that an additional decrease of CO2 loading in the lean solution from 0.2 down to 0.1 mole (CO2)/mole(MEA) might be an attractive approach toward reduction of energy consumption in the hybrid process (stripping+ED).
