By using a 0.010 M TEA solution, carbonation efficiency decreased with repeated cycles, reaching control-level performance by the 18th cycle. The study also clarified TEA’s acceleration mechanism, confirming its feasibility for enhanced RCPP carbonation.

Product Description

Triethanolamine (TEA) is an organic chemical compound formed by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia. It is a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid with mild ammoniacal odor, strong water solubility, and alkaline characteristics. Its molecular structure contains both amine and alcohol functional groups, which allows it to act as a neutralizing agent, emulsifier, buffer, and surfactant intermediate. TEA is widely used in detergents, personal care products, cosmetics, textile auxiliaries, metalworking fluids, cement grinding aids, agrochemical formulations, and gas treatment processes. It helps adjust pH, improve emulsion stability, enhance dispersion, and reduce corrosion in industrial systems.
