The increased demand of the world for energy and its reliance on fossil fuels ultimately contribute to the surge in the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. To achieve a green, efficient carbon capture, a novel multi-component amine-amino acid solvent including methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), and Arginine (ARG) was designated for the CO2 absorption in a T-microreactor. The potential absorption of the aqueous solutions of the desired mixed amines has been assessed through the CO2 absorption percentage (AP) and the total volumetric gas-phase mass transfer coefficient (TGMTC) over a wide range of the gas flow rates (60-240 mL/min), solvent flow rates (2-6 mL/min), under the three mixing concentrations of MDEA: DIPA: ARG (28:8:4), (28:6:6), and (28:4:8)) wt%. The research findings demonstrate an increment of 31% in the absorption percentage of CO2 by reducing DIPA to 4 wt% and raising the concentration of arginine to 8 wt% in the ternary amine solutions. Additionally, the highest mass transfer coefficient of 38.06 (kmol/m3.h.kPa) was achieved utilizing the aqueous solution of MDEA+DIPA+ARG (28+4+8) wt%.
