Photocatalytic Degradation of Diisopropanolamine (DIPA) in Wastewater Under Visible Light

Amine-treatment has been hailed as a very efficient technology is gas sweetening process. The use of aminoalcohols such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and diisopropanolamine (DIPA) have been significantly increasing in gas processing plants. Spent aminoalcohols, that are discharg...
