About Monoethanolamine. Monoethanolamine (a.k.a. MEA, Ethanolamine, 2-Aminoethanol) is an organic compound, containing a primary alcohol and amine groups. It is a colorless, viscous liquid, with ammoniacal odor. Due to its high viscosity, MEA is commonly used as a thickener/emulsifier in a wide range of processes and industries. Ethanolamines industrial production only gained commercial importance after 1945, when ethylene oxide began to be produced on large scale and allowed the replacement of the chlorohydrin route by the alkoxylation route. The alkoxylation with ethylene oxide is still used nowadays, being the major commercial process for Ethanolamines production. Also, in recent times, due to increased attention in carbon dioxide capture and sequestration, monoethanolamine has been used frequently as the solvent choice for the scrubbing process for the amine’s weak base properties.

Ethanolamines combine interesting chemical properties from both alcohols and amines. In the presence of acids, they may either form acids due to the presence of a basic amine group or esters because of the hydroxyl group. MEA always yields salts if they are in presence of organic acids.

Monoethanolamine Handling. MEA should be stored in stainless steel containers with no air and moisture, preferably under dry nitrogen. Storage temperature should not exceed 50 °C. Depending on quality requirements and sensitivity of the products, steel, stainless steel, or polyethylene containers can be used for transportation. Monoethanolamine is flammable (flash point at 85°C) in its liquid and vapor form, so it should be transported and stored away from heat sources in tightly closed containers. It is also a category 3 health code (short exposure could cause serious temporary or moderate residual injury). Its storage should also be in well ventilated areas. MEA is transported in tank cars with capacities up to 75000 L, tank trucks, and portable trucks that can carry up to 20000 L.

Monoethanolamine Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Monoethanolamine are listed below.

  • Ammonia + ethylene oxide (Epoxidation)

Monoethanolamine Uses. The uses and applications of Monoethanolamine may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Monoethanolamine are commercial/technical grade (99.5% minimum purity); National Formulary grade (NF, 99% minimum purity); low freezing grade (85% solution of MEA, 15% water); iron and chloride free grade (<1 ppm chloride, < 0.5% chloride).
