Abstract: 
Results for novel amino silicone physical properties to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) were discussed in this article, that also investigated their potential economic benefits versus traditional amine solvents, such as monoethanolamine (MEA). A range of differing amino silicone solvents were tested for density, viscosity, vapor pressure, and heat value. The novel amino silicone solvents showed better results than conventional solvents for CO2 removal, demonstrating less density, lower vapor pressure, and reduced heat capacity. These advantages were also translated into economic benefits with respect to capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operation expenditure (OPEX).
