Amine scrubbing

Amine scrubbing is a chemical process that removes carbon dioxide and other acidic gases from natural gas, industrial exhaust, or the air itself by passing them through liquid solvents containing amine compounds. These solvents act like a sponge, chemically bonding with the unwanted gases so they can be separated and removed from the mixture. This technology is widely used in natural gas processing, power plants, and increasingly in direct air capture systems designed to combat climate change.
