Abstract
Both detailed chemical process model studies are performed in order to develop a reduced chemical mechanism for MEA and complex 3D dispersion model investigations with COSMO-MUSCAT were carried out focusing mainly on the chemical fate and lifetime of MEA and its reaction products such as nitramines and nitrosamines as well as their removal. In conclusion, the present dispersion model study has revealed that based on the available emissions and the meteorological conditions the proposed guidelines for long-term exposure in air should be not exceeded. Overall, the model results might allow future evaluations of possible environmental impacts and human health effects of pollutants emitted from CCS processes.
