Description

SOLUTION ABSORBANTE CONTENANT UN INHIBITEUR DE DEGRADATION DERIVE SOUFRE DU THIADIAZOLE ET SON UTILISATION DANS UN PROCEDE D'ABSORPTION  ABSORBENT SOLUTION CONTAINING THIADIAZOLE SULFUR-DERIVED DEGRADATION INHIBITOR AND USE THEREOF IN ABSORPTION PROCESS
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la désacidification d'un effluent gazeux. Plus précisément la présente invention propose des composés pour réduire la dégradation d'une solution absorbante mise en œuvre pour absorber les composés acides contenus dans un effluent gazeux, la solution absorbante comportant des aminés en solution aqueuse. En particulier, l'invention concerne des composés utilisés pour réduire la dégradation des aminés utilisées pour la désacidification de gaz contenant de l'oxygène, comme par exemple les fumées de combustion. The present invention relates to the field of the deacidification of a gaseous effluent. More specifically, the present invention provides compounds for reducing the degradation of an absorbent solution implemented to absorb the acidic compounds contained in a gaseous effluent, the absorbent solution comprising amines in aqueous solution. In particular, the invention relates to compounds used to reduce the degradation of amines used for the deacidification of oxygen-containing gases, such as for example combustion fumes.
La désacidification des effluents gazeux, tels que par exemple le gaz naturel et les fumées de combustion, est généralement réalisée par lavage par une solution absorbante. La solution absorbante permet d'absorber les composés acides présents dans l'effluent gazeux (H2S, mercaptans, C02, COS, S02, CS2). The deacidification of gaseous effluents, such as, for example, natural gas and combustion fumes, is generally carried out by washing with an absorbent solution. The absorbent solution makes it possible to absorb the acid compounds present in the gaseous effluent (H 2 S, mercaptans, CO 2 , COS, SO 2 , CS 2 ).
La désacidification de ces effluents, notamment la décarbo natation et la désulfuration, impose des contraintes spécifiques à la solution absorbante, en particulier une stabilité thermique et chimique notamment face aux impuretés de l'effluent, à savoir essentiellement l'oxygène, les SOx et les NOx. L'oxygène peut aussi entrer en contact avec la solution absorbante sans être forcément présent dans l'effluent gazeux à traiter comme dans le cas par exemple d'une entrée accidentelle d'air au niveau des bacs de stockage de solution absorbante.  The deacidification of these effluents, in particular decarbonation and desulfurization, imposes specific constraints on the absorbent solution, in particular a thermal and chemical stability, especially with regard to the impurities of the effluent, namely essentially oxygen, SOx and NOx. The oxygen may also come into contact with the absorbent solution without necessarily being present in the gaseous effluent to be treated, as in the case, for example, of an accidental entry of air into the absorbent solution storage tanks.
Les solutions absorbantes les plus utilisées aujourd'hui sont les solutions aqueuses d'alcanolamines. On peut citer le document FR 2 820 430 qui propose des procédés de désacidification d'effluents gazeux.  Absorbent solutions most used today are aqueous solutions of alkanolamines. We can cite the document FR 2 820 430 which proposes processes for deacidification of gaseous effluents.
Toutefois, il est bien connu de l'homme de l'art que ces aminés présentent l'inconvénient de se dégrader dans les conditions de mise en œuvre.  However, it is well known to those skilled in the art that these amines have the disadvantage of degrading under the conditions of implementation.
En particulier, les aminés peuvent être dégradées par l'oxygène engendrant une consommation de l'aminé et la formation de produits de dégradation qui s'accumulent dans l'unité ou, pour les plus volatils, qui sont entraînés dans les effluents gazeux du procédé. Ainsi, en particulier dans le cas du traitement de fumées en post-combustion dans un procédé utilisant une solution aqueuse de monoéthanolamine (MEA) des quantités importantes d'ammoniac sont formées. L'ammoniac ainsi formé est entraîné dans l'atmosphère avec les fumées traitées ce qui pose des problèmes quant à la protection de l'environnement. In particular, the amines can be degraded by the oxygen generating a consumption of the amine and the formation of degradation products which accumulate in the unit or, for the most volatile, which are entrained in the gaseous effluents of the process. Thus, particularly in the case of post-combustion flue gas treatment in a process using an aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) solution, large amounts of ammonia are formed. The ammonia thus formed is entrained in the atmosphere with the treated fumes, which poses problems with regard to the protection of the environment.
Dans le cas du captage du C02 dans les fumées issues d'unités industrielles ou de production d'électricité ou d'énergie en général, les phénomènes de dégradation de la solution absorbante aux aminés sont accrus par la présence d'une quantité massive d'oxygène dans la charge à traiter pouvant aller jusqu'à 5% en volume en général. Dans le cas de fumées issues de cycle combiné au gaz naturel, la teneur volumique d'oxygène dans les fumées peut atteindre 15%. In the case of the capture of C0 2 in fumes from industrial units or electricity or energy production in general, the degradation phenomena of the absorbent solution amines are increased by the presence of a massive amount of oxygen in the feed to be treated up to 5% by volume in general. In the case of fumes from the combined cycle with natural gas, the volume content of oxygen in the fumes can reach 15%.
La solution dégradée se caractérise par :  The degraded solution is characterized by:
une baisse de l'absorption des composés acides de la charge par rapport à une solution fraîche d'amine,  a decrease in the absorption of the acidic compounds of the feed compared to a fresh solution of amine,
une augmentation de la densité de la solution absorbante, ainsi que de sa viscosité, pouvant entraîner une perte de performance,  an increase in the density of the absorbing solution, as well as its viscosity, which can lead to a loss of performance,
- la formation d'amines plus volatiles polluant le gaz traité et le gaz acide issu de l'étape de régénération : ammoniac, méthylamine, diméthylamine et triméthylamine par exemple selon la nature de l'aminé utilisée, une accumulation de produits de dégradation dans la solution absorbante qui peut entraîner la nécessité d'un traitement de la solution dégradée, - d'éventuels problèmes de moussage dus aux produits de dégradation. the formation of more volatile amines polluting the treated gas and the acid gas resulting from the regeneration step: ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine and trimethylamine, for example according to the nature of the amine used, an accumulation of degradation products in the absorbent solution which may cause the need for treatment of the degraded solution, - possible foaming problems due to degradation products.
La dégradation de la solution absorbante pénalise donc les performances et le bon fonctionnement des unités de désacidification des gaz. The degradation of the absorbing solution therefore penalizes the performance and the proper functioning of the gas deacidification units.
Pour pallier le problème de dégradation, à défaut de pouvoir limiter ou supprimer la présence d'oxygène dans la solution absorbante, on ajoute, dans la solution absorbante, des composés dont le rôle est de prévenir ou limiter les phénomènes de dégradation des composés aminés, notamment la dégradation engendrée par les phénomènes d'oxydation. Ces composés sont couramment nommés additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation. Les principaux modes d'action connus des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation consistent selon leur nature en une réaction de type réduction et/ou en un captage, un piégeage et/ou une stabilisation des radicaux formés dans la solution absorbante afin de limiter ou d'empêcher ou d'interrompre les réactions, notamment les réactions en chaîne, de dégradation. To overcome the problem of degradation, failing to limit or eliminate the presence of oxygen in the absorbent solution is added in the absorbent solution, compounds whose role is to prevent or limit the degradation of amino compounds, in particular the degradation caused by the oxidation phenomena. These compounds are commonly referred to as degradation inhibiting additives. Main modes of action known degradation inhibiting additives consist according to their nature in a reduction-type reaction and / or in a capture, trapping and / or stabilization of the radicals formed in the absorbent solution in order to limit or to prevent or interrupt the reactions , including chain reactions, degradation.

Les solutions absorbantes selon l'invention peuvent être mises en œuvre pour désacidifier les effluents gazeux suivants : le gaz naturel, les gaz de synthèse, les fumées de combustion, les gaz de raffinerie, les gaz obtenus en queue du procédé Claus, les gaz de fermentation de biomasse, les gaz de cimenterie, les fumées d'incinérateur. Ces effluents gazeux contiennent un ou plusieurs des composés acides suivants : le CO2, l'H2S, des mercaptans, du COS, du SO2, du NO2, du CS2. En particulier, le procédé selon l'invention, peut être mis en œuvre pour absorber des composés acides contenus dans un effluent gazeux contenant de l'oxygène, comme par exemple les fumées de combustion. La teneur en oxygène dans l'effluent gazeux peut être supérieure à 500ppm en volume, de préférence supérieure à 0,5%, voire au moins 1%, 3% ou 5% volumique. En général, la teneur en oxygène dans l'effluent gazeux reste inférieure à 20% en volume. Les fumées de combustion sont produites notamment par la combustion d'hydrocarbures, de biogaz, de charbon dans une chaudière ou pour une turbine à gaz de combustion, par exemple dans le but de produire de l'électricité. Ces fumées peuvent comporter entre 50 % et 90 % d'azote, entre 5 % et 20 % de dioxyde de carbone. Les fumées comportent en général au moins 500ppm volumique, de préférence au moins 1 % volumique, voire au moins 2%, 3% ou 5% volumique d'oxygène, jusqu'à une teneur qui en général n'excède pas 20 % volume d'oxygène. The absorbent solutions according to the invention can be used to deacidify the following gaseous effluents: natural gas, synthesis gases, combustion fumes, refinery gases, gases obtained at the bottom of the Claus process, the gases of fermentation of biomass, cement gas, incinerator fumes. These gaseous effluents contain one or more of the following acidic compounds: CO2, H 2 S, mercaptans, COS, SO 2, NO 2, CS 2 . In particular, the process according to the invention can be used to absorb acidic compounds contained in a gaseous effluent containing oxygen, such as combustion fumes. The oxygen content in the gaseous effluent may be greater than 500 ppm by volume, preferably greater than 0.5%, or even at least 1%, 3% or 5% by volume. In general, the oxygen content in the gaseous effluent remains below 20% by volume. The combustion fumes are produced in particular by the combustion of hydrocarbons, biogas, coal in a boiler or for a combustion gas turbine, for example for the purpose of producing electricity. These fumes can comprise between 50% and 90% of nitrogen, between 5% and 20% of carbon dioxide. The fumes generally comprise at least 500 ppm by volume, preferably at least 1% by volume, or even at least 2%, 3% or 5% by volume of oxygen, up to a content which generally does not exceed 20% by volume. 'oxygen.
La mise en œuvre d'une solution absorbante pour désacidifier un effluent gazeux est généralement réalisée en effectuant une étape d'absorption suivie d'une étape de régénération. L'étape d'absorption consiste à mettre en contact l'effluent gazeux avec la solution absorbante. Lors du contact, les composés organiques munis d'une fonction aminé de la solution absorbante réagissent avec les composés acides contenus dans l'effluent de manière à obtenir un effluent gazeux appauvri en composés acides et une solution absorbante enrichie en composés acides. L'étape de régénération consiste notamment à chauffer et, éventuellement à détendre, au moins une partie de la solution absorbante enrichie en composés acides afin de libérer les composés acides sous forme gazeuse. La solution absorbante régénérée, c'est-à-dire appauvrie en composés acides est recyclée à l'étape d'absorption.  The implementation of an absorbent solution for deacidifying a gaseous effluent is generally carried out by performing an absorption step followed by a regeneration step. The absorption step consists of contacting the gaseous effluent with the absorbing solution. Upon contact, the organic compounds having an amine function of the absorbent solution react with the acidic compounds contained in the effluent so as to obtain a gaseous effluent depleted of acidic compounds and an absorbent solution enriched in acidic compounds. The regeneration step includes heating and, optionally, relaxing, at least a portion of the absorbent solution enriched in acidic compounds to release the acidic compounds in gaseous form. The regenerated absorbent solution, that is to say depleted in acidic compounds is recycled to the absorption step.
La solution absorbante selon l'invention comporte des composés organiques en solution aqueuse. De manière générale, les composés organiques sont des aminés, c'est-à-dire qu'ils comportent au moins une fonction aminé. Les composés organiques peuvent être en concentration variable par exemple compris entre 10% et 99% poids, de préférence entre 20% et 75% poids, voire entre 20% et 50% poids, dans la solution aqueuse. La solution absorbante peut contenir entre 1 % et 90% poids d'eau, de préférence entre 25% et 80% poids, voire entre 50% et 70% poids d'eau.  The absorbent solution according to the invention comprises organic compounds in aqueous solution. In general, the organic compounds are amines, that is to say that they comprise at least one amine function. The organic compounds may be in variable concentration, for example between 10% and 99% by weight, preferably between 20% and 75% by weight, and even between 20% and 50% by weight, in the aqueous solution. The absorbent solution may contain between 1% and 90% by weight of water, preferably between 25% and 80% by weight, and even between 50% and 70% by weight of water.
Par exemples les composés organiques sont des aminés tels que la Ν,Ν,Ν',Ν',Ν''-pentaméthyldiéthylènetriamine ou la pipérazine. Par exemple la pipérazine est utilisée pour le traitement du gaz naturel et pour la décarbonatation des fumées de combustion. For example, the organic compounds are amines such as Ν, Ν, Ν ', Ν', Ν '' - pentamethyldiethylenetriamine or piperazine. For example, piperazine is used for the treatment of natural gas and for the decarbonation of combustion fumes.
Les composés organiques peuvent également être des alcanolamines telles que la monoéthanolamine (MEA), la diéthanolamine (DEA), la méthyldiéthanolamine (MDEA), la diisopropanolamine (DIPA) ou la diglycolamine. The organic compounds may also be alkanolamines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA) or diglycolamine.
De préférence, la MDEA et la DEA sont couramment utilisées pour la désacidification du gaz naturel. La MEA est plus particulièrement utilisée pour la décarbonatation des fumées de combustion. Preferably, MDEA and DEA are commonly used for deacidification of natural gas. MEA is more particularly used for the decarbonation of combustion fumes.
Les composés organiques peuvent également être des sels d'acides aminés tels que les sels de la glycine ou de la taurine qui sont notamment mis en œuvre pour le captage du CO2 dans les fumées de combustion.  The organic compounds may also be amino acid salts such as the glycine or taurine salts which are notably used for the capture of CO2 in the combustion fumes.
En outre, la solution absorbante selon l'invention peut contenir des composés qui absorbent physiquement au moins partiellement un ou plusieurs composés acides de l'effluent gazeux. Par exemple la solution absorbante peut comporter entre 5% et 50% poids de composés absorbants à caractère physique tel que par exemple du méthanol, du sulfolane ou de la N-formyl morpholine.  In addition, the absorbent solution according to the invention may contain compounds which physically absorb at least partially one or more acidic compounds of the gaseous effluent. For example, the absorbent solution may comprise between 5% and 50% by weight of absorbent compounds of a physical nature such as, for example, methanol, sulfolane or N-formyl morpholine.
Un autre avantage de l'invention réside dans le fait que l'utilisation d'additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention permet d'augmenter la concentration en aminés communément utilisée par l'homme du métier et d'augmenter ainsi les performances du procédé : augmentation de la capacité et de la vitesse d'absorption des composés acides par la solution absorbante entraînant une réduction des coûts d'investissement et des coûts opératoires de l'unité industrielle. En effet, comme montré ci-après dans l'exemple 1 , en absence d'additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation, la vitesse de dégradation des aminés augmente avec l'augmentation de la concentration en aminés. Ainsi dans le cas par exemple de l'utilisation d'une solution aqueuse de MEA (monoéthanolamine) pour le captage du CO2 dans les fumées de combustion, la concentration en MEA est communément limitée à 30% poids pour limiter la dégradation de cette aminé. II est entendu ici que la concentration en aminé est définie en pourcentage poids dans l'eau avant absorption de C02. Ainsi par exemple, une solution absorbante utilisée pour le captage du C02 dans une fumée de combustion et contenant un additif inhibiteur de dégradation selon l'invention peut contenir plus de 30% poids et de préférence plus de 35% poids de MEA, une bonne valeur de la concentration en MEA étant au moins égale à 39% poids. Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the use of degradation inhibitor additives according to the invention makes it possible to increase the concentration of amines commonly used by those skilled in the art and thus to increase the performance of the process : Increasing the capacity and speed of absorption of the acidic compounds by the absorbing solution resulting in a reduction of investment costs and operating costs of the industrial unit. Indeed, as shown below in Example 1, in the absence of degradation inhibiting additives, the degradation rate of the amines increases with the increase in the concentration of amines. Thus, for example in the case of the use of an aqueous solution of MEA (monoethanolamine) for the capture of CO 2 in combustion fumes, the concentration of MEA is commonly limited to 30% by weight to limit the degradation of this amine. . It is understood here that the concentration of amine is defined as weight percentage in water before C0 2 absorption. For example, an absorbent solution used for the capture of C0 2 in a combustion smoke and containing a degradation inhibitor additive according to the invention may contain more than 30% by weight. and preferably more than 35% by weight of MEA, a good value of the concentration of MEA being at least equal to 39% by weight.
Parmi l'ensemble des molécules appartenant à la famille des dérivés de la pyridine dont au moins un substituant contient un atome de soufre, on utilise de préférence les composés inhibiteurs de dégradation suivants : Among all the molecules belonging to the family of pyridine derivatives in which at least one substituent contains a sulfur atom, the following degradation inhibitor compounds are preferably used:

Dans ce cas, les fonctions présentant un caractère acide, telles que par exemple les fonctions thiols et par exemple les éventuelles fonctions acides carboxyliques, peuvent être partiellement ou totalement neutralisées. The salts of the degradation-inhibiting compounds according to the invention can be obtained for example by their neutralization with the aid of a hydroxide or an alkaline carbonate (preferably a sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate), alkaline earth metal or ammonium or with an amine present in the absorbent solution. In this case, the functions having an acidic character, such as for example the thiol functions and for example the possible carboxylic acid functions, may be partially or completely neutralized.
Les sels des composés inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention peuvent être également obtenus par exemple par leur neutralisation à l'aide d'un acide organique ou inorganique. Dans ce cas, c'est au moins un atome d'azote présent sur la molécule qui est protoné. Les composés inhibiteurs de dégradation listés au paragraphe précédent sont particulièrement bien adaptés à la prévention de la dégradation d'amines en solution aqueuse mises en œuvre dans un procédé de captage du C02 contenu dans des fumées de combustion. Pour limiter la dégradation d'une solution absorbante composée d'amines, en particulier d'alcanolamines, par exemple la monoéthanolamine (MEA), en solution aqueuse notamment pour capter le CO2 des fumées de combustion, on peut utiliser de préférence l'un des composés suivants : le 5-méthyl-1 ,3,4-thiadiazoie-2-thiol, le 5-amino-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, le 5- méthylamino-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, ainsi que leurs sels tels par exemple les sels de sodium, de potassium ou d'ammonium, comme par exemple le sel de sodium du 5-méthyl-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, le sel de potassium du 5-méthyl- 1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, le sel d'ammonium du 5-méthyl-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, le sel de sodium du 5-amino-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol et le sel de potassium du 5- amino-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol. The salts of the degradation inhibitor compounds according to the invention can also be obtained for example by their neutralization using an organic or inorganic acid. In this case, it is at least one nitrogen atom present on the molecule that is protonated. The degradation inhibitor compounds listed in the preceding paragraph are particularly well suited to the prevention of degradation of amines in aqueous solution implemented in a CO 2 capture process contained in combustion fumes. In order to limit the degradation of an absorbent solution composed of amines, in particular alkanolamines, for example monoethanolamine (MEA), in aqueous solution, in particular for capturing the CO2 from the combustion fumes, it is preferable to use one of the following compounds: 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, 5-methylamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol as well as their salts such as, for example, sodium, potassium or ammonium salts, such as, for example, the sodium salt of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, the potassium salt of methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, the ammonium salt of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, the sodium salt of 5-amino-1,3; 4-thiadiazole-2-thiol and the potassium salt of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol.
De préférence, selon l'invention, on utilise le 5-méthyl-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2- thiol pour limiter la dégradation d'une aminé, en particulier la MEA, en solution aqueuse mise en œuvre pour désacidifier un effluent gazeux, notamment dans le cadre du captage de C02 contenu dans des fumées de combustion. Preferably, according to the invention, 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol is used to limit the degradation of an amine, in particular MEA, in aqueous solution used to deacidify an effluent. gaseous, especially in the context of capturing C0 2 contained in combustion fumes.

La solution absorbante peut comporter un ou plusieurs additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation différents correspondant à ladite formule générale. De plus, dans la solution absorbante, les additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention peuvent être associés à d'autres composés inhibiteurs de dégradation de familles chimiques différentes. Selon l'invention, la solution absorbante comporte entre 5 ppm et 5% poids d'additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention, de préférence de 50 ppm à 2% poids, et une excellente teneur en additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation dans la solution étant comprise entre 100 ppm et 1 % poids. Les exemples présentés ci-après permettent de comparer et d'illustrer les performances des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention, en terme de réduction de la dégradation des aminés en solution aqueuse, de réduction des émissions de composés de dégradation volatils et de possibilité d'augmenter la concentration en aminés sans augmenter leur dégradation.

EXEMPLE 1 : EXAMPLE 1
Les aminés de la solution absorbante peuvent être dégradées dans une utilisation selon l'invention engendrant une consommation de l'aminé. Cet exemple montre que l'utilisation des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation des aminés permet de limiter fortement la dégradation desdites aminés. Cet exemple montre en outre que dans le cas de la MEA (monoéthanolamine) l'utilisation des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention permet l'augmentation de la concentration en aminé de 30% poids, concentration communément utilisée par l'homme du métier, à 40% poids sans augmentation de la dégradation. The amines of the absorbent solution can be degraded in a use according to the invention generating a consumption of the amine. This example shows that the use of amine degradation inhibiting additives greatly limits the degradation of said amines. This example further shows that in the case of MEA (monoethanolamine) the use of degradation inhibitor additives according to the invention allows the increase of amine concentration by 30% by weight, a concentration commonly used by those skilled in the art. at 40% weight without increasing degradation.
Les essais de dégradation d'une aminé en solution aqueuse sont effectués selon le mode opératoire suivant : The degradation tests of an amine in aqueous solution are carried out according to the following procedure:
100g de solution de MEA (monoéthanolamine) 30% ou 40% poids dans l'eau désionisée sont placés dans un réacteur en verre surmonté d'un condenseur pour éviter l'évaporation de l'eau. Le réacteur est chauffé à 80°C dans un bloc chauffant électrique. La solution est agitée à 1000 tours par minute par un barreau aimanté. La présence de contre pales empêche la formation d'un vortex. Un gaz est mis en contact avec la solution à l'aide d'un tube plongeant pendant 7 jours à pression atmosphérique. Selon les essais, on fait varier la nature du gaz mis en contact avec la solution. De même les essais sont conduits soit en absence soit en présence de différents additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation incorporés dans la solution aqueuse d'amine à 0,25% poids. 100 g of MEA solution (monoethanolamine) 30% or 40% by weight in deionized water are placed in a glass reactor surmounted by a condenser to prevent evaporation of the water. The reactor is heated to 80 ° C in an electric heating block. The solution is stirred at 1000 rpm by a magnetic bar. The presence of counter blades prevents the formation of a vortex. A gas is brought into contact with the solution by means of a dip tube for 7 days at atmospheric pressure. According to the tests, the nature of the gas brought into contact with the solution is varied. Similarly, the tests are carried out either in the absence or in the presence of various additives degradation inhibitors incorporated in the aqueous solution of amine at 0.25% by weight.
Lorsque l'essai est conduit uniquement en présence de CO2 et en l'absence d'oxygène, le gaz mis en contact avec la solution est un mélange de 7NI/h d'azote et de 0,033 Nl/h de C02 réalisé dans une chambre de mélange. Dans ce cas, le gaz comporte uniquement du C02 et de l'azote. When the test is conducted only in the presence of CO 2 and in the absence of oxygen, the gas brought into contact with the solution is a mixture of 7NI / h of nitrogen and 0.033 Nl / h of CO 2 produced in a mixing chamber. In this case, the gas comprises only CO 2 and nitrogen.
Lorsque l'essai est conduit en présence de C02 et d'oxygène, le gaz mis en contact avec la solution est un mélange de 7NI/h d'air atmosphérique, c'est-à-dire de l'air ambiant non purifié, et de 0,033 Nl/h de C02 réalisé dans une chambre de mélange. Dans ce cas, le gaz contient du C02, de l'azote et de l'oxygène, la teneur en oxygène dans le gaz étant de 21 % environ. Une analyse par chromatographie en phase gazeuse de la solution ainsi dégradée est réalisée à la fin de l'essai. La méthode chromatographique utilise une colonne polaire, un gaz vecteur, l'hélium, un étalon interne, le triéthylèneglycol et une détection FID (Flame Induced Détection). Cette analyse permet de déterminer la concentration résiduelle de MEA. When the test is conducted in the presence of C0 2 and oxygen, the gas brought into contact with the solution is a mixture of 7NI / h of atmospheric air, that is to say unpurified ambient air and 0.033 Nl / h C0 2 produced in a mixing chamber. In this case, the gas contains CO 2 , nitrogen and oxygen, the oxygen content in the gas being about 21%. A gas chromatographic analysis of the solution thus degraded is carried out at the end of the test. The chromatographic method uses a polar column, a carrier gas, helium, an internal standard, triethylene glycol and FID (Flame Induced Detection) detection. This analysis makes it possible to determine the residual concentration of MEA.
Une vitesse moyenne de dégradation sur la durée de l'essai peut donc être calculée : vitesse _ moyenne _ de _ dégradation = — ] __£_ * masse _de_ solution durée essai An average rate of degradation over the duration of the test can therefore be calculated: average rate of degradation = -] ___ _ mass of solution time test
De même un taux de dégradation peut être calculé Similarly a degradation rate can be calculated

Le tableau 1 présente les vitesses moyennes de dégradation de la MEA dans les cas suivants : Table 1 shows the average degradation rates of MEA in the following cases:
• Cas n°1 : MEA 30% poids en présence d'oxygène et sans additif selon l'invention  Case No. 1: MEA 30% by weight in the presence of oxygen and without additive according to the invention
• Cas n°2 : MEA 40% poids en présence d'oxygène et sans additif selon l'invention  Case No. 2: MEA 40% by weight in the presence of oxygen and without additive according to the invention
Figure imgf000016_0001
Figure imgf000016_0001
Tableau 1 : comparaison des vitesses moyennes de dégradation de la MEA 30% et 40% poids en absence d'un additif inhibiteur de dégradation selon l'invention.  Table 1: Comparison of average degradation rates of MEA 30% and 40% by weight in the absence of a degradation inhibitor additive according to the invention.
Le tableau 1 confirme bien qu'une solution aqueuse de MEA 40% poids se dégrade plus vite qu'une solution de MEA 30% poids. Ainsi pour une même durée, la masse de MEA dégradée est plus importante dans le cas d'une solution aqueuse de MEA 40% poids. Table 1 confirms that an aqueous solution of 40 wt% MEA degrades faster than a 30 wt% MEA solution. So for one duration, the degraded MEA mass is greater in the case of an aqueous solution of MEA 40% by weight.
Le tableau 2 donne les taux de dégradation d'une solution aqueuse de MEA (monoéthanolamine) 40% poids, en présence d'un additif inhibiteur de dégradation ou non et soumise à un gaz renfermant de l'azote, du CO2 et contenant ou non de l'oxygène : Table 2 gives the degradation rates of an aqueous solution of MEA (monoethanolamine) 40% by weight, in the presence of a degradation inhibitor additive or not and subjected to a gas containing nitrogen, CO 2 and containing or no oxygen:
• Cas n°2 : en présence d'oxygène et sans additif selon l'invention Case # 2: in the presence of oxygen and without additive according to the invention
• Cas n°3 : sans oxygène et sans additif selon l'inventionCase # 3: without oxygen and without additive according to the invention
• Cas n°4 : en présence d'oxygène et en présence d'un additif selon l'invention, le 5-méthyl-1 ,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol Case No. 4: in the presence of oxygen and in the presence of an additive according to the invention, 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol

Tableau 2 : comparaison des taux de dégradation de la MEA 40% poids obtenus dans l'eau à 80°C dans les différents cas.  Table 2: Comparison of degradation rates of the MEA 40% weight obtained in water at 80 ° C in the different cases.
Il apparaît clairement que : It is clear that:
1. la solution de MEA n'est pas dégradée en présence du seul CO2 en l'absence d'oxygène 1. the MEA solution is not degraded in the presence of only CO 2 in the absence of oxygen
2. la dégradation de la MEA est attribuable à la présence d'oxygène 2. The degradation of MEA is attributable to the presence of oxygen
3. en présence d'additifs selon l'invention, la dégradation de la MEA est ramenée au même niveau que celle constatée en l'absence d'oxygène, c'est-à-dire considérée comme nulle car inférieure à l'incertitude de la mesure qui est de 3%. 3. in the presence of additives according to the invention, the degradation of the MEA is brought to the same level as that observed in the absence of oxygen, that is to say considered as zero because lower than the uncertainty of the measure which is 3%.
En conclusion, les additifs selon l'invention combattent efficacement l'effet de l'oxygène sur la dégradation de la MEA. Il apparaît clairement qu'en présence d'un additif selon l'invention, la dégradation de la MEA à 40 % poids dans l'eau peut être considérée comme nulle car inférieure à l'incertitude de la mesure qui est de 3%. In conclusion, the additives according to the invention effectively combat the effect of oxygen on the degradation of MEA. It is clear that in the presence of an additive according to the invention, the degradation of MEA at 40% by weight in water can be considered as zero because lower than the uncertainty of the measure which is 3%.
Ainsi, dans le cas de la MEA, les additifs selon l'invention permettent d'augmenter la concentration en aminé communément utilisée par l'homme du métier sans augmenter la dégradation de l'aminé. Thus, in the case of MEA, the additives according to the invention make it possible to increase the concentration of amine commonly used by those skilled in the art without increasing the degradation of the amine.
EXEMPLE 2 : EXAMPLE 2
En particulier, les aminés peuvent être dégradées par l'oxygène engendrant la formation de produits volatils, qui sont entraînés dans les effluents gazeux du procédé. Ainsi, par exemple dans le cas du traitement de fumées en post-combustion dans un procédé utilisant une solution aqueuse de MEA des quantités importantes d'ammoniac sont formées. L'ammoniac ainsi formé est entraîné dans l'atmosphère avec les fumées traitées ce qui pose des problèmes quant à la protection de l'environnement. In particular, the amines can be degraded by the oxygen generating the formation of volatile products, which are entrained in the gaseous effluents of the process. Thus, for example in the case of post-combustion flue gas treatment in a process using aqueous MEA solution, large amounts of ammonia are formed. The ammonia thus formed is entrained in the atmosphere with the treated fumes, which poses problems as regards the protection of the environment.
Cet exemple montre que l'utilisation des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation des aminés permet de limiter fortement la formation de produits volatils. Cet exemple montre en outre que dans le cas de la MEA (monoéthanolamine) l'utilisation des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention permet l'augmentation de la concentration en aminé de 30% poids, concentration communément utilisée par l'homme du métier, à 40% poids sans augmenter la formation de produits volatils. This example shows that the use of amine degradation inhibiting additives greatly limits the formation of volatile products. This example further shows that in the case of MEA (monoethanolamine) the use of degradation inhibitor additives according to the invention allows the increase of amine concentration by 30% by weight, a concentration commonly used by those skilled in the art. at 40% weight without increasing the formation of volatile products.
Cet exemple donne les résultats obtenus avec une solution aqueuse de MEA à 40% poids. This example gives the results obtained with an aqueous solution of MEA at 40% by weight.
La figure 1 présente un suivi de la concentration en ammoniac dans le gaz sortant du réacteur dans les cas 2 et 4 définis dans l'exemple 1. [A] correspond à la concentration en ammoniac en ppm volume dans le gaz de sortie du réacteur, t représente le temps exprimé en jours. Les cas 2 et 4 sont représentés respectivement par la courbe 2 avec des ronds noirs et la courbe 4 avec des losanges blancs. FIG. 1 shows a follow-up of the concentration of ammonia in the gas leaving the reactor in cases 2 and 4 defined in example 1. [A] corresponds to the concentration of ammonia in ppm volume in the exit gas of the reactor, t represents the time expressed in days. Cases 2 and 4 are respectively represented by curve 2 with black circles and curve 4 with white rhombuses.
La concentration en ammoniac dans le gaz sortant du réacteur est déterminée par une analyse en ligne par spectrométrie Infra-Rouge à Transformée de Fourrier.  The ammonia concentration in the gas leaving the reactor is determined by an online Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectrometry analysis.
Dans le cas des additifs inhibiteur de dégradation selon l'invention, la teneur en NH3 est inférieure à 10ppm pendant toute la durée du test alors qu'elle dépasse rapidement les 2000ppm sans additif inhibiteur de dégradation. Il apparaît clairement qu'en présence d'un additif selon l'invention, les émissions d'ammoniac liées à la dégradation de la MEA à 40 % poids dans l'eau sont considérablement réduites. Cet exemple montre donc bien, dans le cas de la MEA, que les additifs selon l'invention permettent d'augmenter la concentration en aminé communément utilisée par l'homme du métier sans augmenter les émissions d'ammoniac. In the case of degradation inhibitor additives according to the invention, the NH 3 content is less than 10 ppm for the duration of the test whereas it rapidly exceeds 2000 ppm without additive degradation inhibitor. It is clear that in the presence of an additive according to the invention, the ammonia emissions related to the degradation of MEA at 40% by weight in water are considerably reduced. This example thus clearly shows, in the case of MEA, that the additives according to the invention make it possible to increase the concentration of amine commonly used by those skilled in the art without increasing the ammonia emissions.
Par conséquent, dans un procédé industriel utilisant une solution absorbante contenant des additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention, les émissions de composés volatils en tête d'absorbeur seront bien moindres qu'en absence d'additifs inhibiteurs de dégradation même si la concentration en aminé est augmentée par rapport à la concentration communément utilisée par l'homme du métier.  Therefore, in an industrial process using an absorbent solution containing degradation inhibitor additives according to the invention, the emissions of volatile compounds at the absorber head will be much lower than in the absence of degradation inhibitor additives even if the concentration of amine is increased relative to the concentration commonly used by those skilled in the art.
