1. Product Overview & Technical Specifications
Monoethanolamine (MEA), CAS 141-43-5, is a versatile amino alcohol with the molecular formula C2H7NO. Key parameters:
| Parameter | Specification | DEA Comparison | TEA Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity | ≥99.0% | ≥98.5% | |
| Density (20°C) | 1.014 g/cm³ | 1.097 g/cm³ | 1.124 g/cm³ |
| Boiling Point | 170°C | 269°C | 335°C |
| Viscosity (25°C) | 24.1 mPa·s | 351 mPa·s | 590 mPa·s |
2. Industrial Applications of Monoethanolamine
2.1 Gas Treatment Solutions
MEA dominates acid gas removal with 65-75% market share in CO2 capture systems due to its high absorption efficiency (up to 90% recovery rate).
2.2 Personal Care Chemistry
In cosmetics, MEA functions as:
- pH adjuster (optimal range 5.5-7.5)
- Surfactant precursor
- Emulsification agent
3. Operational Guidelines & Safety Protocols
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Storage Temperature | 15-30°C |
| Vapor Exposure Limit | <3 ppm (8-hr TWA) |
| Neutralization Protocol | 1:1 dilution with acetic acid |
4. Case Studies: Real-World Implementations
4.1 Petrochemical Refinery – Qatar
Challenge: Reduce H2S emissions from 2500 ppm to <4 ppm in LNG processing.
Solution: Implemented 30% MEA scrubbing system with temperature-controlled absorption towers.
Outcome: Achieved 98.7% sulfur recovery with 22% operational cost reduction versus previous DEA system.
4.2 Cosmetic Manufacturer – France
Requirement: pH stabilization in vegan hair care products without animal derivatives.
Implementation: 0.8-1.2% MEA concentration in shampoo formulations.
Result: Maintained consistent pH 6.2±0.1 through shelf life, achieving ECOCERT certification.
5. Supplier Evaluation & Procurement Strategies
